A Better Night's Sleep

After having a rough night on Saturday, that resulted in a 12:3o A.M. trip to the ER (received more pain meds and some Benadryl to help Jake sleep), last night was a better night's sleep. The problem Jake was having was he would get to a certain stage of his sleep and he would twitch. The twitch would wake him up, make his leg hurt, and cause him to scream and cry. You could tell he was tired, because he would fall asleep right away after this happened. The most he slept in on stretch was 10 minutes.

Last night, Joe and I took turns laying on the floor of Jake's room while he slept. The other person slept in our bed. Jake did a much better job last night of sleeping for a longer period of time before twitching himself awake. Joe and I both were able to sleep a little while we were in his room. Today, Jake seems to be acting more and more like his old self. He even had a normal 2 year old temper tantrum when he woke from his nap!

I am so thankful for all the help and visits we have had from our friends and family. It means so much to me that they take time out of their busy lives to come and help us!

Love you all!
