our summer bucket list

 

Such a fun idea that I rounded up the fam for a good old fashioned brain storm.  I’m color coding our contributions.  Daddy. Mommy. Toby. Binti. Trevy. 

 

Gulls Game – a super cheap and super fun summer family night

Golf

Butterfly Zoo

Dream Night @ the Zoo – this is a special treat for families who battle life threatening or serious, chronic conditions on a daily basis

Story Land & Santa’s Village – I can pimp for both because Make-A-Wish is an amazing organization and not only blessed Trevy with a trip to Disney World last year…but also provided tickets to both fun destinations for us this year! 

Beach – it’s a crime to live so close and never go

Frosty Freeze – yum!

Try a new restaurant – because Mickey D’s is just getting old

Paint the living room – something green

Build a family/school room in the dungeon basement

Basketball Camp

Play dates – don’t get your hopes up, buddy!

Make the AllStar team

Watch summer WipeOut together

Wii Night Palooza

Go to the zoo

Swimming @ Grams’

Buy a pool – you know, a little one that she and Trevy can romp in.  Her words.  :: smile ::

Beach – she’s such a mommy’s girl

Read a bunch of stories together – ready, set, awwwwwwwwwww

Playing in the yard together

Create a family obstacle course

(pssssst…I helped Trevy with his choices)

HIKE – the boy looooooves exploring!

McDonalds – he can’t get enough fries

Cheese – the Chuck E. kind

Bye Bye – did I mention he looooooves exploring?

 

That should be enough to keep us busy this summer!  To get inspired check out the Summer Bucket List Party!

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...
