Year 3 – Week 18 – Day 3

Brendan had a horrible night. He was in bed by 8:30pm, but at 11:00pm, he was awake and very upset. It took an hour to get him to relax and go back to sleep, and I finally got him in his crib. 25 minutes later, he was awake again, screaming mad. If I would try to suction him, he would go ballistic and try to smack my face. Another hour later, he was asleep in bed. At 2:30am, he threw up and it took a half hour to calm him down. I decided to just hold him. Then my lap felt wet and I realized his med port on his tube popped open again and his gastric juices were emptying in my lap. I dare not move or he would wake up, so I closed the port and just dealt with the smelly wet pajamas.
At 6:00am, he woke up to make a giant poop and that was it for the night, he was awake. I might have slept 2hrs in the chair, on and off. Miraculously, all of Brendan’s screaming and all the beeps and bangs and suctioning did not wake up Trevor.

Brendan had a pretty good day, but the throw ups continue, just while his pump is running.

Brendan got to play with a popsicle at dinner time.

Of course there is always “Fall on purpose” and pillow fights

How’d we get back around to Monday so fast? I hope it is a good one tomorrow. I am tired!
