Today our prayer request is sleep, again. Seton has reverted
back to on a good night only sleeping for about 45 – 60 minutes without needing
attention; on a bad night he needs us every 5-15 minutes. Around Thanksgiving
he was sleeping for 5-6 hours without needing attention. He even had one night
where we did not touch him for 9 hours. Usually when he wakes up and needs
attention he needs one of two things; either he has coughed and needs us to
suction his mouth and nose, or he needs to have his clothes changed because his
feeding button has leaked and his entire mid section is wet, he very rarely
needs his diaper changed at night…thanks to him being big enough for night time
diapers! Those are amazing!
When Seton is waking each hour he does not get good rest and
is tired all day, so we get to keep a grumpy boy awake all day and does not
want to do any of his therapy…which makes it hard to learn new things. Zane and
I (and anyone that is helping us) do not get any sleep either. During this cold
and flu season, everyone around us is sick or has sick kiddos…we are trying so
hard not to get sick again this season and expose Seton to another illness. It
is really wearing us down, we need more sleep.
Thank you for your prayers for all of us.
