oh snap

How bizarre is it that Trevy knows how to snap his stubby little digits?! He can't say "mama". But he can snap!





It's a recent skill addition...which is why we all go ga-ga every time he does it. Which of course...is only when he pleases. Or someone hums the "A B C s". It's all about the little things...right?





Anyway...






In other news...






I have a major hectic week ahead. In fact...I was going to enjoy the free mansion tour perk of living in lovely Newport County. But frankly...I'm zonked. So I canned it. I mean...it's not like the mansions are going anywhere. Right?






And besides my week is already chuck full of fun! We have the withdrawal seizures...which I thought we were escaping until today! Then the CO2 labs to re-do...because they were low...which if we can't bring under control could mean major headache. Family coming to town. Zoo field trip. Various therapies to squeeze in. Toby's team made the play offs...games games everywhere! A tooth extraction... Oh I forgot to tell you guys that Bristel had another emergency dentist trip? Yep...that's right folks. An abscess can form even weeks after the mouth trauma...ugh!





And of course...the never ending regular mommy work. Laundry. Dishes. Dusting. Oh my...






No wonder I'm flippin' zonked!

We actually have a *slow* week for a change...i may have just jinxed that one. Sounds like you need a nanny too...ha ha ha!!

Isn't it amazing some of the things they can do?? Connor's new thing is pushing the handle on the ice dispenser to shoot water all over the place. I've had to start leaving it on the "ice" setting instead of the water. How that child learned that I will never know...

Isn't it amazing how all of the little things that most people take for granted are so just so precious to us! It really makes you appreciate and treasure more things in life and really celebrate the little things :)

Yes, it seems that mommy things are never really done...there is always something to do. We are off to the ped's later this afternoon...after a call to the doctor, they think Kylie may have an ear infection. *Sigh* I have quickly learned that being a mommy is being perpetually tired and constantly on the go....some days we can go faster and other days, not so much :)

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

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...

seasoned

The other night Dr. Neuro called to ask about Trevy. And to let me know that... yes we can begin to wean the Vigabatrin. BUT... she's still feeling sketchy about Banzel. And is insisting we start the new med during our upcoming in-patient VEEG (and crossing fingers PET scan too!) to moniter Trevy's response. Since I'm big chicken when it comes to trialing new meds...it works with me! She was also asking me to define the way Trevor's seizures are currently presenting. Have they changed? How often? Intensity? She's concerned that his seizures are morphing into multiple (and more often) seizure types. And so...I'm posting the video clip below of the most common clusters that we're seeing these days. This was actually his third cluster before 10am. I only captured a handful of seizures. There were approximately 15 in that cluster. Which is our new norm. To me...his right side is undoubtedly more affected than his left. That said...we're seeing more &...
