I'm bucketing tears. He loves his Mommy and you can see he is getting so much comfort. It is such a nice feeling to finally be able to cuddle that you never want to let go.

They sure took a lot of hair.

The cuddles are so good! I do hate the little dance to you have to do around all of the wires and tubes. But those cuddle are so worth it for both of you. I just want to reach into the pictures and hug the both of you.

sooo happy you finally got to hold him. Make sure you give him lots of hugs from me, too. And smoochies.
Love, Mom

Give him an extra cuddle from us. You can see the love oozing from you guys. The hard part about the photos was not the incision but the amount of emotion that comes from the photos.

Seriously- tons of hugs to all of you guys, I cannot imagine going through what you are, you guys are my heroes.

yes, the pics are kinda hard to see..seeing your little guy like that and all he has been through. what a strong and amazing boy he is!

you can totally see the love you have for trevy, and how much you have missed holding him close to you. the pics captured that love and emotion so well...making us all cry.

love you guys, and sending virtual hugs to you all,

Well, I can hardly see to type for my tears....

I barely even NOTICED the incision...In fact, I had to scroll back through just to see....

I was too focused on Trevor leaning on you and your precious face....This was the closest I think I have been able to come to REALLY feeling SOME of what you must be going through...All because of the look on your face....

Just beautiful....Thank you....

Wish I could give you all a big, tender hug, myself!!!

I agree...the emotion is what is so moving and hard to see! Getting that last drain out will be so nice for everyone. Love his ever-present binky too, reminds me of my own little guy.

Oh Danielle!!! It did my heart good to see you cuddling Trevy! You looked like you never wanted to let him go...which I'm sure is the case.

I didn't realize that the incision was so big....poor little guy!!! And now I know why your wondering what to do with his hair!!! Oh those curls...I'm so jealous! I wish I had a quarter of his curls!

These pictures were far from graphic!! they absolutely broke my heart. Not b/c of the scar, but b/c of all of the emotion i can sense between the 2 of you. And as a Mom, i can just feel all of the emotions you are feeling in that moment. i'm so glad the 2 of you finally had that moment together. Next time warn of the kleenex factor of the pictures...I actually broke down in public! Give your little monkey a big snuggle for me and his IS brother Connor. xoxoxo

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.
