my fortune cookie friends...

A friend FaceBooked me recently...






"You definitely have something great around the corner, I can almost feel it"...


she said...







Feeling a little less Fortune Cookie...a little more Eyore...



I rolled my eyes & sighed...



If I were a stuffed donkey I'm sure my ears & tail would have been drooping too...






And went to answer the just rung door bell...








Where I found a care-package on the stoop!




Filled with O's fan treasures...




and little princess delights too!








Sent by another IS mommy friend...




and making my other Fortune Cookie friend look super duper smart!




::wink::




And even though it's been an Eyore kinda streak lately...




I'm SO thankful for all my Fortune Cookie friends that shower me with love via emails...comments...phone calls...prayers...care packages!



And help chase the gloomies away when I feel like I can't!

Glad they loved the goodies. Did the shirt fit J ok? They only gave them out in 1 size and since it would be many, many years before Aidan would of been able to wear it I thought "What's better to give someone that "should" be a Red Sox fan than an Orioles shirt?". The purse was a good match and I'm glad I could make your little princess happy.

Tara...

The shirt fits him perfectly! And J loves sporting his O's gear here in Sox land...

I know...the purse & headband are a PERFECT match for that dress! It was given to her by a family here...their daughter had worn it as a bridemaid gown a few years ago. And Bristel loves it so much I can hardly get her out of it...seriously...wears it to the playground!

Thanks Tara...it was a really super sweet super thoughtful super needed gift!

((((hugs))))

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...
