do you believe...

in gaurdian angels?



This weekend I accidentally left the door at the top of our very steep stairs open. Jonathan, Trevy & I had just run up for a quick measurement or something. From our bedroom I looked over just in time to see Trevor take that first step...


I screamed "Nooooooooooooo!"


And knew in that instant that Trevor was going to be a pile of broken bones at the bottom. My seizure baby!


His balance is awful and he tumbled from the top step all the way down to the hardwoods below.


Jonathan said Trevy's angel must've carried him down the stairs and gently plopped him on the floor below. The fall itself was silent. And Trev was quickly comforted! My heart on the other hand still beats wildly every time I think about it!


We're most definitely believers!

Oh D! I can't imagine what went through yours and Jonathan's minds!!! If I didn't already believe in them, I certainly would now. I am so thankful that Trevy is unhurt!!!

It probably all happened in slo-mo too right?

Yes I do believe, but it also helps that kids don't know to tense up like adults do.

So glad he is OK!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost had a heart attack just reading it. You probably cried more than Trevy did huh?? I totally believe in Guardian angels. I like to think that sometimes when connor is laughing in the corner at "nothing", he is really laughing at his angels. Atleast that's what my sappy heart would leave me to believe.

Talk about heart in your throat! Oh!
How wonderful that Trevy only received a scare & wild ride....guided by his angels. I believe in them! I also believe in the angel/devil conscious...and think sometimes the little red guy on my shoulder gets the best of me & then the angelic one has to convince me to clean up the mess! Maybe that's who convinced Trevy to take that first step. :) *wink* Or it was just plain old almost 2yrs old curiosity!

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...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...
