just another reason to love him

 

I randomly forward Dr. Rockstar video clips.  You know, when I catch a really great one of Trevy right smack dab in the middle of a miracle moment! 

 

 

Confession:  Sometimes I feel a smidge guilty about emailing him.  Because.  Well.  What a beautiful gift Dr. Rockstar gives us by opening himself to our emails!  I never want to take advantage of that gift.  I cherish it too much.  Ya know.

 

 

But he is such an extraordinary part of Trevy’s miracle that I feel this irresistible need to share.  At the time of surgery (Trevy was 2 1/2) he was 100% non-verbal.  He had no comprehension and therefore no expression of language.  In part because the speech area of his brain was among the most damaged.  The internal EEG revealed what we already knew in our hearts but did not have the solid proof in our hands.  Trevy’s brain was being electrocuted more times in a day than there are seconds.  When Dr. Rockstar fought along side us (because like Sophie and others…Trevy’s was not an open-shut the MRI shows the lesion case) to move forward with a Left (subtotal) Hemsipherectomy…that changed.  Trevy’s EEG is far from normal today.  He still takes 3 anti-epilepsy medications daily.  He is still globally delayed.  But he is a Miracle Boy!  And when I catch my little boy whose voice we had no hope of ever hearing until a year and a half ago…singing his little heart out with his paaaaaa-buh (Trevy Speak: iPad).  That’s a miracle.  A MIRACLE!  And I need to share it with on of his most ferocious Miracle Workers!  If you’ve already watched, no pressure to do so again.  But if you haven’t…I think it may warm your heart! 

 

 

 

 

As might Dr. Rockstar’s response just a handful of minutes after I forwarded the clip to him…

 

 

“Wow, this is amazing!  I have forwarded to some of the team here, thanks for sharing!   Way to go, Trevy!”

 

 

Not that I needed any more reasons to be totally in love with him.  But did you just hear him call my son Trevy?

I adore that man and continue to be in awe of how giving of his time he is. I love this video of Trevor...especially because you can see he knows all the words, even if they aren't super clear. In my mind it just goes to show what the future holds. His clarity will just get better and better, we see it with Julia all the time.

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...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
