prayers for Sophie

Dearest Sophie...


I just wanted you to know that Trevy's family will be praying for you especially this week! You are in our hearts and minds constantly.



This is a big...exciting...scary week for your family! In large part because...



You have an amazing mommy! Who passionately advocates...loves...and persues hope for you!



She may not know this...but she has become a very special friend to me as we've journeyed together this past year. A friend who allows me to be open & honest...but always encourages me to cling to Hope!



I know she's worried. And freaking out. And that's okay. Because now it's my turn to be the friend (at least one of them) who just listens...loves...and reminds her to cling to Hope...



And as this new week dawns...I wanted you to know how special your mommy is! And how amazing & special you are!




Hugs...and prayers...and best wishes for this week!



XOXOXOXO...



...Trevy's mommy

Sophie's Story by Elaine said…
I had to come back to comment because after I finished reading it the first time...the tears would not stop flowing. You are so very sweet and supportive. You are an amazing friend who allows me to vent without judgment. And, unfortunately, you understand all too well what I am going through. Thank you for always being here for me.

I am also gonna have Sophie and her folks in my thoughts a ton. I hope everything goes great up there. Might even run into them since it looks like our trips are going to overlap.

They will all certainly be in my prayers!

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...
