step away from the doritos!

I think I'm stressed about tomorrow! Cause I have a major case of the munchies! Can somebody please hide the chocolate & chips!


At the break of dawn we're off to Providence. To hook Trevy's little head to an EEG machine. Again. This makes six...in almost as many months!


It's a three day-er. Which stinks.


But it's a Digitrace. So we'll be home instead of in-patient. Which...doesn't stink.


But still...three days is a looooong time. Why so long you ask?


Weeeell...because Trev's been having some odd little episodes. Two of which have been witnessed by two different doctors...at two different times. Who also feel it looks suspiciously seizure-ish.


The only way to really confirm that though...is with an EEG. Thus the extended hook-up.


After Dr. Neuro has a chance to read the results we'll move forward with phase one of the The Plan. Introducing an AED.


Phase two is a 3T MRI...which is in the waiting for approval works.


I have a feeling I'll be munching the night before that one too!

Good luck. I know how hard the ambulatories are. Hopefully they have a fanny pack or a backpack for the unit.

Press the button for anything and everything. Better safe than sorry!! I'll be thinking of you all weekend.

Honestly...I'm just glad we get to be at home. I HATE being in the hospital!

I'm on that button like white on rice! *smile*

Ugh...I hate EEG's! Not sure whether we are going to get an ambulatory or we are in for another hospital stay for our up and coming.

Poor guy! He sure looks cute in all the garb though!

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 ...
