name?

One of Trevy's new ABA targets (he's mastered "hi" and "bye") is "name?". 


I'm pretty sure he gets it.


Cause he's pointing to people everywhere and asking "name?"


We spent a full ten minutes this morning snuggled on the couch scrolling through our iPad photo albums.  He gets giddy happy over the Disneys.  He was demanding to know everyone's name or I was asking him for so-n-so's name and he'd tell me.  


Di-Dough (Bristel) 


Wee-Bee (Toby...who is thrilled he's no longer Wee-Wee for obvious reasons) 


Da-Ee (Daddy...a bit of regression there as he was clearly saying Da-Dee for awhile)


It was super cute.  Also...I thought it was pretty cool that when it was a thing and not a person he would switch it up and ask "issss" (this).

I truly laughed out loud when I read that about Wee-Wee as Toby's original name. I can see why he is thrilled. Trevor seems to be doing great. And honestly I wouldn't worry too much about the regression of Daddy. As children learn speech the sounds sometimes change and they seem to regress with certain sounds. However, obviously Trevor is not like other children. He is extraordinary in that he is doing all of that with half of a brain. I know you know this and I know that day-to-day can be a struggle. But I am just amazed at the miracle that is Trevor. His progress never is awesome.

I told someone today that every day with Trevy is surreal. I don't think she really got my drift...but I bet you do, AM. :)

That's pretty good that he's got the hi and bye down despite the continued seizure activity. As much as it sounds like a consolation prize type of speak, they were telling me at the last eval that greetings like hello and goodbye are way down the line developmentally and if he is initiating them that's great.

Really? I'm SO far removed from typical baby development...I can't hardly remember what my big kids did when.

It does feel consolation prize-y. But I'm making the choice today to try and stay positive. Haha. We'll see how long it lasts! :)

And as I've already lost my lid with Toby over his grammar (what is it with boys and grammar?!) I should probably start fresh righhhhht...

NOW!

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 ...
