six things

 

 

I started a new tradition this year.  Listing things I love about my kids on their birthday.  I number according to the age they happen to be turning.  Toby and Bristel already had their turn.  And it served to prove that they were not switched at birth.  They’re way too sappy like me to belong to anyone else!

 

 

Today is Trevy’s turn.

 

 

Today, my little baby turns six.

I love your sense of humor.  You have a way of finding the funniest things hilarious and it’s contagious.  And no matter how many times you add “poop” to the end of a sentence or a song…somehow it never gets old.  You have the best belly laugh ever!

I love your snuggles.  I know you’re getting bigger.  And maybe the day will come that you won’t want to snuggle any more.  But for now, you still climb in my lap and cuddle me up.  And I love every second of it!

You have the most amazing, soulful eyes!

I love your tenacity.

 

When you really want something nothing can stop you!

I love the way you communicate with us.  The way you use your words and your eyes and your body to express your thoughts is amazing and beautiful!  The way you figured out how to make your little fingers say I love you could melt the hardest of hearts!

Bottom line…you are AMAZING and I LOVE being your mommy!

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...
