proper introduction

I'm the nick-er type.




I just love giving people nicknames. It's fun.




The only time I use any of my children's given names...is when they're being naughty! Which lately...has been quite often! But I digress...






I've nicked all of Trevy's doctors too.





Nothin' fancy. Just whatever comes natural. Dr. Neuro. Dr. Pedi. Dr. Ortho. Dr. Boston.






I like Dr. Genes...that was cute.






I'm not even sure when I started mentally nicking him Dr. Rockstar. He's pretty much an IS hero. In fact...I hardly had my steady IS legs before I first heard his name. And one thing became clear quickly. Everybody trusts him! Especially those who've been given the privledge of seeing him in person. And further...how many Dr. Neuros make themselves accessible via email? To non-patients??? Within hours...minutes even...of clicking send???? That is amazing! He's kind of a legend...






A Rockstar. Moonlighting as a pedi neuro.

You are too funny. I totally agreed with your fabulous nick for the IS guru. I too found him to be amazing at returning emails and be doesn't know me from Adam.....

I was wondering what I would call him if we do get to become his patients too. Probably something boring like his name.

But he is totally a rockstar.

I stole some of your nicknames, as you can see from my site!!! I am sure you noticed! It is a GREAT way to protect identity! AND they are funny!!!!

So glad to hear that he is an easy doctor to approach and deal with. Too often we find doctors that seem not to care enough if at all. He does look like a very personable doctor.

And as a side note, I never call my girls by their names either unless they are in trouble....and like yours, yes, that has been a lot lately! Something to do with the season change??? lol

I am looking forward to meeting him. In all of my travels around the net doing research and such I have only heard one negative report at all about him.

His credentials impress me and I am certainly hopeful he can lead us in a direction that the current Stooges managing his care here cannot.

Yep, he definitely deserves a Rockstar title!!

You'd think with all his popularity that he'd have his head floating up in the clouds...

Nope, he's the most compassionate neuro (or doctor period) we've ever met.

It's his calling and I think he knows it.

How many top-notch neuros would offer to get you coffee while you wait? Or make sure you have a ride to the airport?

He goes above and beyond his doctor responsibilities...and that email replying...eerily fast!!

Completely agreed with the above. I love Dr. C with all of my heart! You are going to really enjoy meeting with him.
Also, sorry to hear about your poor princess. My brother did that when he was young....no fun. I hope she feels better soon. I'm sure she is just as beautiful with no teeth!

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.
