stress much?

I woke up this morning with one. A stress headache.






I've had it for days now actually. It's bosom buds with the perpetual knot in my tum tum. (listen people...I have THREE kids! I'm allowed to use the random kiddie word!)







Course I always go a little mental when life feels heavy. In fact, it's a miracle I've lived this long without an ulcer!







I think too much! WAY too much!









I stress out too much! Seriously...WAY too much! Toby totally comes by his anxiety issues honest.










I have a knack for mountain-ing mole hills!










Which may be precisely what I'm doing with this whole travelling to Detroit thing-a-ma-bob.











But until Dr. Rockstar has a chance to review these...






...and calls me back with a firm answer. And his secretary sets up a firm date for a consult.







And our insurance gives us a firm green light for coverage.








So I can book some firm tickets.










And give our fan club a firm idea of what the heck is going on...in our journey to rescue that muchkin down there...







I'm afraid that the headache is gonna linger.




Maybe I should nick it? You know...become friends. Count it a blessing...that I have something to stress headache about. That my life isn't dull. Boring. Hum drum. That I don't have gobs of energy to pour into silly things...like...running marathons? Or saving the planet one cloth diaper at a time? Or putting on a real clothes?







Ack!






What I wouldn't give to have a little hum drum around here! Although it's doubtful I'd be of the cloth diaper persuasion even without the stress action.




My life is what it is. Seizures. Stress. Heachaches. Smiles...like my attempt at throwing in a happy bone! But here I am...not even able to fully gather my wits to write a flippin' post that makes sense. Particularly with my first born in my ear anxiously begging me to check out Club Penguin with him!







Despite my throbbing temples I have checked in on and...prayed for sweet little Sophie all day!

Love the picture! I want to run my fingers through his curls!! They are adorable!

If Toby hasn't yet gone to Club Penguin, he'll enjoy it! Marissa loves that site. Also, Disney.com has some great games. She's now addicted to Pixie Hollow. That's probably way to girlie for Toby, but Bristel would love it for sure! You can create your own fairies!!! And....it's FREE! Although they do offer subscription services.

I'm right there with ya girl...

You know I looked in the mirror last night and found two grey hairs! It's a wonder my whole head isn't covered!

Good luck with Dr. Rockstar...getting all the medical mumbo jumbo to line up can be so frustrating! Wait for that, wait for this...before you can get anything going!

That's when the hairs fall out instead of turning grey!

Oh, and that's a priceless picture of Trevy! Look at all that hair! Precious!

I have daily headaches now. It's weird. Never had it before. Now just a part of life.

Your son has such a huge head of hair...not used to seeing so much hair. Carter (my oldest) gets a buzz cut, Bennett has very little hair, and I have none at all.

My Word Verification is:

As in...ENOUGH WITH THE SEIZURES ALREADY! :)

Colby had those blonde curls way back when...Now he's brunette and just waves...So enjoy it while you can...May not last!

Thanks for sharing your day with your lovely children...They are ALL so precious! A true gift...Keep the photos coming!

Take care of yourself...I eat Excedrin like candy for my AM headaches and have for 20 years...NOT a good thing...At least the migraines are only a few days a week! (Frova is my wonder drug for those!)

We all seem to have alot in common!

Hopefully once you hear more on the possibility of surgery, SOME of the stress will subside...

Take good care...

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...
