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

Comments

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.
Elaine,

I am so glad that Sophie is getting her chance...I know you guys have been waiting a long time for this. I wish you the very best of luck for Sophie.

I can't stop thinking about this little girl! What an amazing inspiration she has been! And her mommy too!

They will all certainly be in my prayers!

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...

it ain't sexy livin' on an island...

Especially when you have to cross bridges to get ANYWHERE. Very LARGE bridges. The crests of which I inevitably get stuck at. Speaking of...why is it that at the tippity tops of our bridges...the railings always open up? To reveal an eagle's eye view of the white capped depths below? I HATE that. And sure enough...in route to Dr. Pedi yesterday...they must have seen me coming cause traffic ground to a halt at the top of the Mt. Hope Bridge. Where I felt less than Hope-ish. My palms gushing my nerves onto the steering wheel for a good 15 (felt like forever) minutes. Not just things medical bring out my cowardly lion. Heights do too! Anyway... Grabbed an iced coffee and chocolate cream filled to settle my nerves on the way. And we arrived on time...in one piece. Of course. Dr. Sick-Visit-Pedi breezed in chart in hand. Glanced down. Then at Trevy. Then said... "He has a history of Infantile Spasms?" Surprise and speculation in her voice. We get that a lot. It...
