if it makes me happy...

Okay...so first let me just clear the air about something.






I've mentioned already that I enjoy nicking. People. Things. Whatever.






It makes me happy! And I deserve a little happy!







So...all that to say...some people may be mortified at the nick I've given Trevy. One of the nicks. He has many.







But this one may cause some to cringe. You have the right to cringe. I have the right to happy. So we're kewl. K?






My used-to-be-fave Trevy nick was Heavy Trevy. Or HT. Affectionately given to him by Grams. During his first stint with Acthar (ACTH). When he inflated like a puffer fish!











Don't those cheekie weekies just bring out the baby talk in you?









Who wants smoochie whoochies?









Heavy Twwwevy want smoochie whoocies?









::Muah muah muah muah muah::









Yep...Heavy Trevy was a keeper nick.









But alas...we've since entered the world of appetite (and yet ironically not seizure) suppressant meds. And the chubby thighs lost their pinchie winchie-ness.








Which probably explains why we don't really use Heavy Trevy anymore.









But somewhere along this crazy seizure life I started nicking him something different...









Something super cute...









Something that...to me...totally captures his super human courage...









And super contagious grin...









And so...the super suited to him nick I've been using lately is...










::Please...I'm urging you...cover your eyes now if you're easily offended by potentially NOT EVEN CLOSE TO PC (but totally trust me...cute) nicks::










dun...dun...dun...daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa















SEIZURE BOY!










I love it SO much that I'm actually having a T-shirt made!










Now I just need someone with PhotoShop to add a cape on that pic above for me! I have alternates too...with more cape space!





::wink::





btw...If you haven't already...you totally need to watch the video post below to see the antics of Seizure Boy!

I see nothing wrong with it at all. I call Bennett Captain Seizure or Seizure Kid and all kinds of stuff. It makes me feel 'lighter' about it, hard to explain...

I need to get Photoshop on my laptop or I would have caped up the pic for ya..

Danielle...Like I told you in my email, Colby is already "Seizure Boy"! We've been calling him that for several years now! What fits better? (He also has a few others we use from time to time...?

People have just GOT to understand....we HAVE to have our sense of humor IN TACT just to get through the crap!!!

I MUST blog sometime about my years and years of "comic relief" with Colby and OTHER special needs kids that will curl some people's toes, I'm sure!

I hate all this PC mumbo jumbo. Just call it like it is. But as he has grown out of Heavy Trevy...I am hoping and praying that he will soon grow out of Seizure Boy. So get that t-shirt made up quick before it becomes outdated ;)

My honey likes to do the nickname thing too...Sopha Dopa and El Bird.

Cyndi...I'm lookin' forward to those posts!

Katie...well...you know me. I aim to please! *wink*

Brenda...I cross my heart'll get the photos to you by the end of the week. Btw...just a quick reminder (cause I'll miss church again tonight) you can hang with me at Toby's game tomorrow night. Let me know...

Monica...girl people drive me nuts! I hate having to calculate my words. It's one thing if it's mean-spirited...but just to be cute. And to laugh...because it's better than crying! Anyway...I knew you'd get me!

Elaine...I was vegging on the couch when Jonathan read your comment. He thought it was the sweetest thing (his words!) anybody has said!

Mom...it's not really that new. I'm just comin' outta the Not PC closet! lol

KC's Warrior Mama said…
Haha, I love it! I call KC all kinds of things too. For a while it was peanut (NOT during ACTH lol), and then it got shortened to P. I don't even remember when I started that but it's been a while!
And like Elaine, I really am holding on to hope that Trevy will outgrow that nickname. I feel like I've been following your blog for so long now that now I think of Trevy so often!

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 was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
