the package

I made a crisis call to Dr. Neuro today. Lots of seizure drama. Don't ask.


Anyway...she happened to mention that she'd sent the package to Dr. Rockstar. Sometime last week.


So when I got home I emailed him this...



Dr. Rockstar...

Evidently there was a miscommunication...

I asked Trevor's neurologist to email you the PET scan. She instead send a cd/package...sometime last week.

We're in week three of Banzel...and if it's making any difference at all I'd say his seizures are worse. We're still at a low dose...but it's hard to imagine it'll get better.

It would mean the world if you could look at his PET. Our local neuro says the abnormalities...while unimpressive to her...are limited to his left hemi.

...danielle




Literally minutes later he responded me this...



I have not seen the CD. Nurse: could you track it down?



And I have to say. It's this weird sense of comfort. Fear. Hope. Angst. Emotion explosion all tingling through me.


And honestly...I'm not even sure what I want him to see. Or say. Because the yes...is as freaking scarey as the no!

When we got the "no", I hadn't quite realized how much I was hoping for a "yes". The MRI results weren't much better. Either way, hoping for the best for you guys!

Isn't it freaky how quickly he responds?? I think that makes it all the more anticipating...cause you know you could really hear back ANY minute!!
Oh, I'm crossing my fingers that you'll hear back soon...I know the wait is making you nuts!!

Let us know!

How exciting & scary all at the same time. Does having a child with IS make you bipolar?? j/k!

I'm still working on my e-mail to him. Trying to make almost 2 and a half years brief. Think he would be ok with: MY CHILD'S SEIZURES SUCK...FIX HIM!!!!? oh brother...let me get connor back to school so i'll have more time to work on it, and get over all of the sappy emotions of him turning 3.

Hoping for a quick response for now. I'm with you, thinking about what the response will actually say is too much. Hang in there D and let us know. I can't imagine what it must be like for you. It's like being on pins and needles! Praying you won't have to wait too long.

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

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...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
