thanks, jerk

I just want to express a deep, heartfelt thank you to the jerk who let his dog take a ginormous dump at the local preschool playground.  Trevy's preschool.   


Causing the administration to make the decision to padlock one (of only two) community areas where I can (safely and sanely) take Trevy to enjoy the out of doors.  


There are two play areas in our community that are Trevy friendly.  Another park exists, but as it's both un-fenced and a mommy of a child with zero saftey awareness's nightmare.  Think zipline.  High climbing areas with several unprotected places to fall from.  And a walking track immediately beside the playground where a chasing who know's what Trevor has more than once almost become a casualty of a zooming inline skater or bicyclist.  We don't really go there for fun.  It's not healthy for his remaining hemisphere or mommy & daddy's BP.  We only go there when Toby has a game or practice.  And to be honest, it's becoming more and more challenging to bring Trevy with.  Which is why we have always enjoyed using the preschool playgrounds for fun romping.  With their Mommy Doesn't Need to Wear Her Sneaks fences.  And If He Falls From There He Won't Break the Other Half of His Brain slides.  


But now...the one within walking distance is now padlocked and unavailable to us. 


So yeah.


Thanks, jerk.

That is so frustrating!
Is there anyone at the preschool you can appeal to? Flash your own dimple and beautiful curly headed boy?
Worth a try...

I guess teaching him to climb the fence would be counter-productive? Kidding, kidding... :-)

M...I'm sure I could talk the school into a different set up. It's just finding the energy to talk to the school about a different set up. ")

Wendi...you successfully made me laugh! Cute...

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...
