either

So it's either the slow-release melatonin coupled with leaving Trevy cry for a little while...


OR


all those prayers for sleep going up on our behalves are being heard!


Cause last night Trevor only woke up once. At mid-night. And then proceeded to snooze from midnight until 7am!


Either way...we're all feeling quite refreshed! Which is nice...since I'm shortly heading out the door in route to school for Trevy...support group for mommy...

I've given up on a good night sleep!! We've tried Melatonin & now we're using Trazadone and the darn kid still gets up around 3am...without fail! We unfortunately can't do the cry it out b/c he's in a big boy bed and he knows how to open the door. (Delayed my butt...ha ha ha!!) I just can't bring myself to lock the door in case of a fire or something. Sooooo, atleast now we have him trained well enough to walk into our room and I just throw him into our bed, and we are back to snoozeville in less than 10 seconds!! hope that whatever is working for you keeps it up!!

Doin the happy sleep dance!
Wuhoo for all of you!

I wonder....just a thought...if you'll see less seizure activity after Trevy has a good night's sleep...wouldn't that be great?

So glad for you...sleep is a wonderful thing, a true blessing.

Good luck at school/support group today. Hope Trevy has fun & that you feel supported too.

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...
