three day rule

I'm thinking about implementing a three day rule.





Give myself three days to cry. Wear black. Sleep til' noon. Stay in jamies. Pity Party paloozah.





Get it all out of my system...





...and then pick myself up and move on with life!





And celebrate all the wonderful...beautiful...cherishable...things that I do have.





















Hmmmmmm...







The more I mull...the more I like this three day rule thingie. Cause I totally don't feel like taking off the jamies today...

My heart sank when I stopped in to check up on Trevy. I know how difficult it must be to have heard those words...I dread it everyday...and Austin's not climbing walls & acting like a typical toddler. It's the reason for my once(or more)-a-week-mini-breakdowns. But, just as you said, no one knows what the future holds...none of these doctors knows exactly what will happen to our babies. We have way more faith in these kids and their futures than they ever will.
Hang in there...

I totally agree with your 3 Day Rulle! You gotta give yourself permission to feel and be sad and mad and all that stuff. It's real! And sometimes I find if I try to bypass the 3DR then I can't get up and go again. Somewhere in the sadness and jammie time energy returns.
BIG hugs to you!

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
