back on the grid

You may have wondered why I've been a bit MIA for the past week or so?




Of course you may not have too.




::smile::




But I'm going with the former! It makes me feel warm & fuzzy. And does wonders for any self esteem issues I have lingering from my middle school years.




::big smile::




Soooo...since you noticed. I thought I'd reward your kind-hearted curiosity with an irresistibly adorable picture marathon of exactly what Trevy and fam have been up to while we were off the grid for a week or so...



Enjoy!  



Trevy was granted a Wish trip to celebrate his 1 year post hemi (read: removal of almost HALF his brain) surgery anniversary! 



Pictures like this are AWESOME!  Total black mail for future dates! 

One of my faves! Catching Trevy in the act of smiling is tricky...so when we do it's always a fave. 


Such a ham! 

Can I get some honey with that ham?! 

Awwww...Goofy kissed Trevy's boo-boo spot! 


Possible Christmas photo card material.  So what if the kids all look dorky...Jonathan I look Super Cute! 

Is she too cute...or is she too cute? 

Trevy's star is hanging in the Castle of Miracles located in the heart of Give Kids the World resort in Kissimme, FL.  We have the coordinates if you're interested! :)





Melting anybody?! 

Hmmmm...do I need to break out that Barney photo already? 



Trevy smoochied Mickey's nose! 




Toby was the official "Trevy Holder in Placer" for all the pictures! 


hahaha this one just cracks me up!  Toby couldn't look less thrilled!  But don't let the surly face fool ya...he was LOVING it!  In fact, he begged to see the characters the most! 




Trevy kisses usually look like this.  A hand to the mouth.  Don't ask me why?  Maybe someday he'll be able to tell me! 





Many many thanks to our local Make a Wish chapter and Give Kids the World for granting Trevy this extraordinary gift!  



Like Minnie always says...

Dreams do come true! 



And for those who are craving more Disney adorable-iciousness...



no worries...you know I have way more pics to post!

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...
