what's up detroit

There is a beauty in being busy. And as exhausted as baseball season had us...there was a beauty in it.





No couch potato time.





No unlimited dwelling on Detroit time.





But now that it's just a weekend away...we're getting jittery. Very. J.i.t.t.e.r.y.






Anyway...






Because I've been asked for a little more specifics. For praying purposes. Here's The Plan.



Sunday...


Leave RI early afternoon in route to Detroit


Check into a very swanky hotel...thanks to Coach B!



Monday...


Trevor will be admitted & hooked up to the leads around 4pm for a 24 hour VEEG.
Jonathan will spend the night with Trevy in the hospital. I can't think without my sleep. And I'll need my wits about me for our consult the following day.



I keep telling the EEG techs at Hasbro that Trevy should be the hospital model! That cute face!

Tuesday...

Late afternoon Trevy will be unhooked.

Meet with Dr. Rockstar at 4 pm-ish. We've been told to expect it to be a loooooong consult.

Wednesday...

Check out of our swanky hotel bright & early.

Thursday - Sunday (back at home)

Try to re-coop! Hospital stays are a butt-kicker. But important hospital visits knock SO much more outta you. And it takes awhile to get your feet back under you.

I totally agree with the hospital model thing!!! They don't come any cuter!!!
I am praying for your family daily. Praying you get the answers you are seeking. I know how weird it is to pray for your child to HAVE brain surgery. With it, the possiblities are endless.

Hey we would love to come visit you in the hospital when you're here, if you're up to it. Let me know and we can make arrangements or give you guys a break or grab you something to eat. Just send me an email and let me know.

I'm so glad that you are able to get to Detroit without worrying financially how you would cover such a trip. There are a lot of us thanking Toby's coach I'm sure.

Will definitely be keeping you all in my prayers and am sending good wishes for good results!!!

Can't wait to hear the results of the visit. Tell Dr. C I said Hi...probably won't remember us. Anyhoo, I'll be checking diligently for any news on the trip and hoping for the best.

Definitely Trevy should be the hospital model.

Thanks for the details cause they help me keep you in mind. I doubt I need to include them in my prayers as, God knows, I'm referring to YOUR Trevy and not any other. ;)

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...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
