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...

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...

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...
