duly noted

Have you noticed the new name yet?


happy being trevy (dot) com


I'm in love with the new name!


SO many layers to it!


Totally spot on! And someday I'll write a lengthy sappy post about how it was inspired. Someday.


But it should be duly noted that it's happy being trevy...


not


happy being trevy's mommy


or


trevy's happy family


bleh!


Today actually started out really sweet...


til' I tried to arrange having lunch delivered to Jonathan.


Today marks one year since Babu left us.


And I thought flowers first...


but I'm Italian. (AND he's looking skinner than me lately!)


But the only place that delivers to his building is Chinese. Not really in the mood. And the guy at the Market located in the same parking lot couldn't figure out how to manually run my credit card through the machine.


I swear sometimes I feel like I'm an idiot magnet or something.


Which is why...again...this blog is not called Happy Being Trevy's Mommy!


Although he did look awfully happy staring out the window as the big yellow school "buh" pulled away from the curb this morning. His happy is a little bit contagious.


I also feel better now that I called Jonathan and sobbed out my attempt at letting him know I actually thought about him today!


He said it's the thought that counts...

Jonathan's a good man. Remembering the anniversary is a sign of love.

i-magnet. Would laugh but laughing might get me in trouble with r-word-ban-people who are closely scrutinizing an i-word-ban.

I know the feeling though. Among certain organizations we frequent coughchurchcough are staff that frequently fail to meet our expectations.

The saying around our house is that "it was not her turn to have the brain today" - having decided these organizations tend to hire for use of a shared brain.

Ah, well, just another comment from me you might want to delete.

No deletion today!

And actually I think I might agree with you about the R word drama. I don't have a problem with the word itself. I'm a writer. I like words. Especially words that evoke strong emotions. I have a problem with the spirit behind the word. And the people with that spirit can say pretty much anything...and make it sound hateful. I just can't think up a clever T-shirtable slogan.

I actually like that the picture is fuzzy. It makes it that much "artier".

LOVING the new name and, of course, the "action" photo!

I agree with you on the "R" word, Danielle....You are absolutely right...It is the SPIRIT behind the word that gets to me....Even after all these years....Used in a medically descriptive way, I got no prob w/it!...Only when it is used to hurt others....It is thereby hurting my boy through others....Can't take it!!!

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...
