it comes in heaps

Stress that is.



Trevy has a raging antibiotic resistant ear infection. We were able to switch him to a new med tonight. Poor thing has been a cranky devil all day. I shoulda known. It wasn't til his ear was caked in goo that I realized Sunday's script was ineffective.



Anyways...cross fingers and toes with me that this one kicks it!

At least you know this a few days ahead so you can hopefully get it cleared up quickly...I think I mentioned before that Colby was FAMOUS for getting ear infections a day or two before a surgery!

These little stinkers will try us every time!!!

Praying the infection heals ASAP!!!

Jackson has an ear infection too right now! He just had one in August as well. I don't know what good the tubes and adenoid surgery did!?!? Anyway, Jackson is not having major surgery next week like Trevor, so I will be praying it heals quickly.

We also will be thinking of you all as you head to Detroit tomorrow! I remember it all like it was yesterday!!!

I believe everything will work out, ear infection, surgery being covered AND Trevor will be seizure free!

Have a safe trip and I will be checking in and sending lots of prayers your way!

Oh, Poor Trevy and poor Mommmy! I think ear infections are just as hard on mommy's and daddy's as they are for the little ones! Not being able to do anything for them really stinks!!

Praying the new antibiotics get rid of the ear infection quickly!

Man! I'm so sorry! Hope it goes away fast! We seriously may be here when you guys get in on Sunday...Cincinnati can't take her until Monday and they're saying we have to transport her by ambulance since it's a hospital to hospital transfer...so stupid. But anyway, wishing you luck on the infection.

Have lotsa experience with ear infections in a little one. Have they ever offered you drops that go into the ear canal that are just for pain relief?

I had my first case of swimmer's ear ever this summer. Felt just like an earache. I can't help but believe that cleaning out the crusty junk helps WITH the oral antibiotics.

Praying for Trevy and his family,

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...
