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 repeating how awesome that was...he admitted that they were actually surprised too.



And that he personally was really happy for us.



But that he couldn't promise it would stay clean forever...



I told him...that's okay...



right here...right now...it doesn't really matter!



And then squeezed Trevor, who was curled up on my lap, until he protested...

I am beyond excited for you...that is the dream, you know? I know that the day Julia has a normal EEG will be amazing, not to mention after the scare you guys had last week. So any chance of leaving tomorrow? Sorry the insurance monkeys aren't doing their job.

Thinking it's time you should title him EX-seizure boy?!?

That's awesome news!!!!

I already knew it because of fb....but still....INCREDIBLE...just INCREDIBLE. What an amzing thing for you guys. I am so happy for you. really happy. crying happy.......
Another one of our friends had her first or possibly three surgeries tonight. The sunlight, artificial light...any light...causes her seizures. They are going to have to take most of her occipital lobe out, IF they are only coming from there. The jury is still out. She will definitely have vision loss, and could be blind. Could you imagine? Not much of a choice though. Her daughter is deteriorating so fast. They only give her 1 to 3 years to live. My heart hurts for them....
Anywoo....SOOOOOOO HAPPY. I am sure you will sleep better tonight than you have in a long time!!!!!

Wooooohooooo! I am so excited for y'all! This is just the beginning of good things to come.....
I am a sobbing mess for you all that I don't even know what to say. How can you put into words how much that means?!?!

You are an incredible mother, doctor, therapist and much more. You fought so hard for Trevy. He is here today because of you.

Ken was right...here's to a good week! Love you bunches and I am so incredibly happy for you.

Wow, how awesome is that! I grabbed Kylie and we did a little dance for you guys..she started smiling and clapping when I said "Yay, Trevor!"

I'm sure it feels so surreal, but it is sooo for Real!! That sounds like the best way to end your stay there..I think that should be more than sufficient for getting the discharge orders put in :)

Love and Prayers,
Jody

I hope you get to go home tomorrow. I wish you didn't have to go through the hassle with insurance. It seems a bit crazy just to get Tripetal. I guess I have just been lucky with insurance so far.

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...

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.
