lookin' spiffy

Lil' Frodo all ready to get de-shaggy-ed



I think he likes the way it feels when Miss. Karen combs his hair




Miss. Karen is SO patient with all his squirmies! 

That was the best after I could get - and he's still handsome!


Trevy gets his hair handsomed at Karen's Hair Design in Portsmouth, RI.  She has a special bond with Trevy.  Partly because she's known him since he was just a bump in his mommy's belly.  Long before seizures and brain surgeries.  Partly because her son...who is now dancing on the True Healing Side...also suffered from Infantile Spasms.  We could never have imagined how our lives would intersect the day that my mom & I chanced in the door of that little hair salon so long ago.

Wow. I don't believe in coincidence either, but a story like that just shoots the idea of random to heck.

Of course he is handsome! So fun to read a post like this - thanks so much! Barbara

Okay...that story gave me chills. And Trevy will always be handsome! Even if you shave a strip down the middle of his head ;)

What a handsome fellow. I guess I just don't understand, if infantile spasms are so "rare" then why do I know so many people that have been affected by them? They don't seem to be nearly as rare as the medical community makes them out to be. And it would seem that there would be more research, more doctors, more that we could do to help these kids. Nevertheless, I think Trevy looks awesome, and I'm thankful for Doctrs like Dr. Chugani who do work to help these little fighters.

That's awesome! Like the day we emailed Dr. Chugani after we saw a tv clip of him in CA after doing a brain surgery....He said "Oh, I'm in Detroit now. I just set up an epilepsy clinic there." We said, "Oh, we just moved to Michigan.....what a coincidence:)"

Hugs,

LOVE this!!

There is nothing greater than someone "caring for" your child who really "gets it".....

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...

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...
