random-nings

Jonathan was washing Bristel's hair. And chatting about our nightly Jeopardy habit.







Says daddy...







You sure are learning a lot from Jeopardy.







Says sudzy daughter...




Yep!







I'm very learning how to sleep!






****************







Although it tickled my funny spot just as much that Jonathan hollered to me...






Quick babe...I've got one for your random-things!








****************

On the topic of things that make me laugh...

It totally cracked me up the other day in the mommy room. We were all chatting about our kids. And the topic of PT came up. I mentioned that Trevy doesn't have PT anymore.

The mom across from me looked appalled as she blurted...

You do know he walks funny right?

I do! But I'm of the persuasion that it's part of his undeniable Trevy charm!

***********




The Scene: I haven't been getting the greatest sleep. Even with Trevy doing better. Which means I'm a cranky morning person. At least until the first coffee's had a chance to settle. The following conversation took place in the midst of my morning cuppa.













Toby: Mom...I love you













Me: I love you too sweetie













::pause in conversation::













Toby: You know mommy...you start out so grumpy. But the longer the day goes on...the more loving you get!



****************











Bristel modeling some of her baby clothes which I recently dug out of the basement to free-cycle...






She wasn't too happy about the thought of another little girl wearing her stuff! After she managed to wriggle her 4 year old bod into that 6-9 month sized dress she triumphantly declared...



See Mommy...



it DOES fit!



Cause it covers my undies!



Jonathan says that philosophy won't fly in a few years!

**************

In the morning madness I had forgotten about Trevy's drawn B-6.

Which is why it took me a minute to understand why he was suddenly howling in protest. From his perch on my hip...he was given a view of the waiting to torment him gooey pink syringe.

There was no doubt that he didn't like what he saw!

Fussing is a form of communication right?

She's right, it does fit. Don't know how comfortably tho ;) About the PT, a wise therapist once told me, therapy isn't the answer to everything. Sometimes love and patience are the answer. If you spend your life in therapy, when will u have time for play and real life experience.

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...
