Trevy's Wish Trip (day 1)

Our Wish Trip began in high style with limo transport from home to airport

You'd look groggy too if you'd had a 3am wake up call to catch the morning red-eye

A rare (sleepy) Toby smile



South West treated us SO wonderful...

and let the kiddos explore the cockpit...


Trevy even got to play co-pilot! 

Which actually made me quite nervous...

cause once he got over feeling overwhelmed...

he proceeded to switch and flip everything with gusto!  Yikes!  But we made it home in one piece so I guess it was okay...

We then explored all the wonderful things Give Kids the World had to offer

The little train was a family fave!  Notice Trevy's flushed face?  That's Topomax cheeks...a side effect is the inability to sweat which can cause a number of yucky things to happen.  Soooo...we had to make sure to take lots of AC breaks to keep the Star of the show cool. 


Bristel practicing her princess pose




One of our happiest memories was spending some time exploring Downtown Disney with the Bartenhagen family.  That's Broc smushed between Bri & Trev. 

I totally wished I'd brought my good camera with me!  Would have made catching cute pictures MUCH easier!

One of my favorite pics of our trip!  Two IS (and brain surgery!) buddies together!

Too bad my timing was off. It would have been great to meet you and Mike in real life. Looks like you had a great trip. I look forward to seeing the rest of the pictures.

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 ...
