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!

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 ...
