Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 bleech. my kids like 4am as well. Hang in there! Jacquie H Up again. Another sleepless night in the Byk house... Last week was Mikey's spring break, and we had relatives come to visit. 's anxiety level has been very high and he is doing things like chewing his fingernails down to the quicks and having lots of tantrums over things like wanting me to help him with something but not allowing me to touch it, or him. You get the picture. Gabe had a nasty little stomach virus with a fever of 104. He had 3 seizures with it, one with bodily involvement which is new - it's just been staring and blinking before. First seizures he's had in months...need to call the neuro. Need to schedule 's yearly re-eval with the local autism guru, too...that was actually in January but I wanted it to be more recent for his IEP in the fall. So anyway, with all of this, the boys are of course not sleeping. Gabe has stepped down from Superglue Baby to Velcro Child -- removable with some effort -- but he simply will not settle for Matt at night. This will be fun when the baby is born! So, since I am already up with one when the other wakes...*sigh* Matt's helping where he can...in fact he picked up the living room, dining room, and kitchen today, and vacuumed. He even put some laundry away. <gasp> <choke> I like him ever so much better when he takes his zoloft....But, I would much prefer to sleep through the night and clean the house myself. Well I do believe the second clonidine has kicked in and Mr. is asleep. I had best go and rest while I can as surely someone will be up at 4am. Something about that 4 on the clock seems to attract my children, as moths to a flame...I wonder if I got up at 3, and set the clock ahead to 5...... -Sara. Wife to Matt SAHM to (3.5, autism) Gabe (23 mos, speech delay) and 'Punkin' due anytime now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
