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 :)

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...
