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.

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...

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...

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...
