Knock Knock. Who's There?

Trevy in his Underwear!


chicken legs! 

Letting Trevy pick a new pair of undies every time he goes tinkle is a GREAT motivator for him

And to think yesterday I was totally ready to throw in the towel...


then today he has ZERO accidents...

including a trip to Target where he used the big boy potty!

He eats up all the praise!

Oh he looks so grown up in pic #4!
What a great idea! He must have some of Bristel's style genes...since clothes are a motivator! Remember this one for other dressing related trials in the future.
He'll get there...someday, but he will. Kudos to you for still trying! Toilet training tries the patience of the best of us but goodness such a win when it comes through.

Eek, that's so funny! I don't know if you were actively trying or not, but my own little brother didn't start using the bathroom till he was 4, and then all of a sudden he just went, and only had about 3 accidents for a month after that and none since.

That's so awesome! Isn't it the best feeling? Julia took FOREVER to be fully trained...its such a relief when they finally start to get it. Yay Trevor!

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...
