It's 1:30am. Cody's still up. Sometimes I literally feel like I'm going to go crazy. I am so tired. He has an important appt. at Children's tomorrow that we need to leave for at 8:15am. It's with his gastro Dr. because his tummy problems have been out of control. And he won't go to sleep. I even tried benedryl - his Dr. said that was okay to use to help him sleep on tough nights. It didn't do a thing. He's had about 30 seizures today....5 in the last half hour. Please don't email me that we should try melatonin - or chammomile tea to help him sleep. We're so beyond melatonin and tea. I've tried every sleep help and drug known to man. Nothing puts him to sleep.
I have 3 therapists lined up to work with him tomorrow - all will have to be cancelled because he will be exhausted, fussy, and having too many seizures. It's an endless cycle. And the really sad part is - this is a typical day.
