it's just wrong





To send bills BEFORE the child who just had half his brain removed is even discharged!




That's right, folks.




Not only am I so exhausted I can hardly keep my boot-tay on this chair. I also have a pile of bills. Bills that were WAITING for us. Now get to be exhausted AND I must sift. Which really means call the various billing (lairs) departments and see what hasn't been billed correctly. Or what won't be covered.




Sweet! Can't wait...




Oh...and on a quick happy non-sarcastic note...




Took Trevy to school today. I know...I'm slightly off my rocker. I've come to terms with myself.




Buuuut...not only did his teachers smother him in love and hugs!




He did amazing! Even took three solo baby steps!




Which is just heart-warmingly fabulous...




But I still don't wanna make those calls.

I live in Canada and can't for the life of me understand why America doesn't want to take care of their sick. I hear so much about the nightmare of hospital bills and co-pays. I am so thankful that we don't have to deal with that here. That is the LAST thing you need right now.

Wow, school?! That's amazing. :)

That is just down right disgusting!!!!!!! COME ON PEOPLE! I don't even know what else to say, except, they can wait a few days (weeks, perhaps...). You deserve uninterrupted, no nurse popping in, no IV beeping and no puking....SNUGGLE TIME!!!!!

Ok, you put tears in my eyes when you wrote that Trev took a few steps on his own! I was not expecting that so soon!!! I am so happy for you all!!!

BUT...I'm now mad that they sent bills before you were even discharged. I mean, REALLY? Course it could have been worse, they could have brought them right to you in the hospital right?! lol

Praise the Lord for those little feet working!!!! I could not have heard anything more uplifting!

The hospital bill thing? Sucks Sucks Sucks!!! I would take my own pretty sweet time....From what I have been told, as long as you stay in contact (with your slobbering sweet, apologetic self), they pretty much will give you time....I can only imagine that stack waiting for you!

Hopefully there won't be much of a co-pay for you....Will pray for that!

And once again....GO TREVY!!!!

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.
