ready...seeeet...please be ready!

Okay so EEG Lynn assured me that the left-sided EEG disc is ready. She made sure she could open the file on her system. And she even went the extra mile...and printed out samples! I thought that was super sweet. But honestly...she owes me. She's said some bonehead things in the past that need making up for. I figure this covers one! Although not the one when she told me to let the white coats with degrees interpret the spiking lines I was studying. That would be when Trevor's IS relapsed...and tears were streaming as I watched his sleep cycle on the glowing face. And knew...because sometimes mommies don't need white coats or MDs.




::sigh::




The PET scan has been the hassle though.




Called Friday. Spoke with Nurse Sue. Who said she'd call me as soon as she heard it was done.




Of course...she weekend-ed without calling me. Hope yours was relaxing!





Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr





So first thing Monday morning I'm ringing the hospital like a mad woman. Only to learn that Rhode Island may be THE ONLY state in the nation that celebrates whatever stinkin' holiday yesterday was supposed to be!





Everything shuts down.





Any guesses on why our state is going bankrupt?! One holiday paid government holiday at a time?!





Just left a message for Nurse Sue cause I'm swingin' by the hospital to pick up the EEG today anyway. I can't sleep until Dr. V emails to say he's seen it...and it's good.




But I sure would like to have the PET scan disk in that package as well...

It sounds like breathing is a difficult task right now, as you are checking back and re-checking to make sure all the ducks are in a row.

I hope that everyone is not only doing their part, but going above and beyond for you guys..for Trevy's sake.

Praying that it all gets done super fast and you can check that off the list and make room for breathing again.

Hoping that you get word that the PET scan disk is ready too! How aggravating!

Whatever holiday they reserved has got to be an in-state thing because no national holiday is this month and Ramadan doesn't come until the 22nd!!! Wish I had a holiday yesterday....

Wow, it's amazing how much red tape you have to go through to get your kid the help he needs. I soo hope that things fall into place, and soon!

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.
