I appreciate everyone’s comments and support very much. We are all feeling exhausted and yet each day brings new challenges.

Brendan’s day was marginally better than yesterday. He did not cry as hard when startled, he had some small happy times. But mostly, it was the same struggle. He just can not sleep. He is awake now with Bill and just can’t get comfortable. He lies down, then sits up, cries, lies down, rubs his eyes, sits up. He just can’t get rest. He wants to sleep but he won’t sit still for a minute.

He took a couple of tiny naps today but mostly we just tried to allow him to rest. He was ok on a pillow watching some Yo Gabba Gabba for a while.

He needs sleep!

I sometimes could catch him smiling, but it wouldn’t last. Just the wrong look or sound and he was crying again.

Trevor took a very short nap today too so he was a little cranky. But he had a mostly good day. He loves the “Trevor, where is your belly button?” game.

And because we all need the smile for today…

update at 10:55PM… finally asleep
