toby's birthday bash (a picture marathon)

The first order of business...


the birthday swats! Compliments of Pop-Pop!



Trevy tried to chomp on Grams' pearls!






Gotta love the cheesy grin after she noticed I was snappin' pics!


And then came the opening of the presents...which almost killed Toby (according to him) having to wait until the Sunday after his real birthday to open!

That's the face of very rich 8 year old boy!


Lots of money to spend (on a mommy-date) thanks to contributions from Bibi, Babu, mommy & daddy!



Hot Wheels from Grams...
plus a new I'm a big kid now robe!


Then pizza & the cake!










Shortly after Toby'd successfully kicked Grams' & Pop Pop out the door...he & I headed to the mall. Where he bought a mini-basketball...spent some mulah at Chucky Cheese...and bought his all time fave...

A Pokemon Game for his GameBoy. Which he's been glued to ever since!

Next up on birthday row...the guy with the goofy grin!

Happy Birthday Toby!!! It looks like you all had a blast.

Seeing the chocolate icing on that cake has kicked my sweet tooth into high gear...time to raid the fridge.

Looks like Toby's birthday party was a complete success!!I love little personal birthday parties....I always think they are so much more fun than having a bunch of strange kids running around and screaming!!! lol

And I loved the pic of Trevy trying to eat Gram's pearls!! too cute!

If this pregnancy keeps going, maybe my little Kym will share Trevy's birthday! Nothin against you or Trevy, but I'm praying it don't last that much longer! lol

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...
