Good Morning,
John had a very restless night last night. It is almost like the medication is having the opposite effect on him. He just can't get in a comfortable position. Home beds are not like hospital beds. We don't have an electronic mechanism to elevate his head, so we are piling pillows, although they don't have the firm support he requires. We started out the night in our bed, and then within about 1 hour we went downstairs to our family room where we have 2 couches. I positioned John as best I could but again, he was restless. At about 0230, we were up making some decaf tea, because he wanted something to drink. Everything he drinks is through a straw because of his c-collar. I think we finally went back to sleep at 0330, and were up again with the TV on @ 0530. Thank goodness Ed got up at that time and was watching over him. Ed told John he would help him get a bath, if he wanted to. I thought that was so sweet, and so did John. Ed is such a good heart. I woke up again about 0645, and watched a bit of news with John. He wanted to get a bath, so we were able to accomplish that, and by 0800, he was dressed, hair washed and filling better. Marcus went up to Walmart to get some much needed supplies, and Ed needed a universal remote. Ed loves remotes, like Rainman loved Judge Wapner. Marcus got John some "Sleepy Tyme" tea, and it is finally working. He is sleeping. (Of course it is at 1030.........my baby has his days and nights mixed up.........must get his schedule swithched...) I believe raising babies, prepares you for all of life's adventures. Sleep wil come.
I will write more soon. Thanks for your concerns, prayers, and well wishes.
