What can I say? I’m a sappy head.

 

 

If you’ve spent any time here at all…

 

 

you know I’m a big fat sappy head!  No, like, seriously.  My eyes water at the drop of a hat, sappy.  I told a friend recently, that if my sappy annoys him we should probably never do Disney’s opening ceremony together.  Because.  Well…   Let’s just say…you’d better pack extra Kleenex!

 

 

One thing that makes me extra sap-a-licious is when hearts outside the world of epilepsy knit with ours. I always love when non-epilepsy peeps connect with us.  Because it helps me feel like I’ve accomplished part of my passion for spreading awareness.     

 

 

So when Tricia of critters and crayons left a very heartfelt comment a few months ago, I responded by blubbering for awhile.  Because when you have years of emotions invested – heartfelt comments do that to a girl.   I then left her a little thank you note over at her place.

 

 

(if you’re looking for a new mommy blog that will make you laugh and give you some great ideas…I highly recommend critters and crayons)

 

Tricia is to blame for even more mascara running (if I had time to put some on, I mean) moments too…

 

 

Because she mentioned Happy Being Trevy as one of her five fave blogs during an interview with before the baby wakes.

AND

 

 

added us to her blog roll! 

 

 

 

I’d complain about all the blubbering that she’s inspired but I hear that a nice sappy fest every now and then is good for the soul.  In love

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 ...
