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.

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

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 repeati...

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...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
