84 times

So Jason spent last night at the sleep center. I didn't even know such places existed until I started dating Jason. He has been using a c-pap or a bi-pap machine for his sleep apnea the whole time we have been together. Recently the machine stopped working correctly and since it has been 6 years since he had a sleep study done, the doctor told him he would have to spend a night at the sleep center.

Thankfully there is one about 15 miles away.

He had to spend the first part of the night without any type of breathing machine. They stuck all kinds of electrical leads to him so they could monitor his breathing. He stopped breathing 84 times in one hour.

84 times.

Seriously?!?!?

Si wasn’t very happy about his daddy leaving. He cried for about 20 minutes and then finally cheered up. Although he did keep me up until 11 o'clock last night…

He kept saying "Dada work" and "Dada bathroom" over and over again. His speech is getting better every day. We will be able to have a normal conversation in a couple of months!

Well, as normal of a conversation that one could have with a 2 year old, that is…

tween

Yesterday I felt horrible by the time I got home. And throughout the evening itonly got worse. I must have a cold or something. I felt so nauseated and cold. I took my last Phenergen and a Percocet and fell asleep. I didn't wake up until after 8.

Today I slept moat of the day. Which is probably why I am still awake now. I'm finally feeling better. My throat still hurts from the sinus drainage but it's getting better. And I finally feel well from surgery.

Janie has been grounded from her cell phone. She posted her number in a comment on Instagram to some dude that's semi-famous and he text her. She text him back and even called him. When Jason saw the messages on her phone he asked her about them. She had her phone looking through it when he was asking about it and while she was telling jason she didn't know who's number it was she was deleting the conversation.

She's not even 11 years old and she's already doing stupid teenage crap.

I took the phone away from her and talked to Chris about it. He told me not to give it back to her.
As mad as I was earlier she's lucky I didn't break the stupid phone.

I should have been checking up on her more than I was. I've been consumed with all this diet/surgery stuff that I haven't been thinking about making sure she's doing right on that phone.

At least now that I have her phone I don't have to worry about her doing anything like that.

What's it going to be like when she's 14? I may not make it that long... lol just her being a tween is hard enough!

sleep for an hour...

Sleep for an hour...

Get woke up by the pain returning. Awake for an hour.

Sleep for an hour...

Get woke up by the lab tech so she can take my vital signs. Stay awake for about 30 minutes.

Sleep for an hour...

Get woke up by the alarm on my IV bag going off because it's empty...

And now I'm awake.

And it's only 2 o'clock am...

*sigh*

sleep

Si and I have been up for over an hour... I've tried to lay him back down once and he was back wide awake within minutes of me walking out of his room.

I miss sleep...

Bottles

I am sitting on the bed, holding Si and rocking him. He woke up at 3 wanting a bottle and since it had only been just over 3 hours since his last bottle, I made him a 4 ounce bottle instead of a 5 or 6 ounce one. 

I wish I had blogged more when Janie was this age. So I could compare more... I know that I shouldn't compare my children, but there are so many things I cannot remember. Little things. Like how old she was when I upped her bottles from 4 ounces to 5 or 6.

Jason's mom thinks we should try putting Si to sleep on his stomach and maybe that would help him to sleep better... because of him having his days and nights mixed up. But after going through him crying for hours during the day, him being mixed up on days and nights isn't as big of a deal to me...
Yesterday was the first day out of the previous 6 days that Si didn't cry for at least 3 hours.

And I'm not talking about that mindless tearless screaming that newborns do randomly in short bursts when they are cold or hungry.

This was a gut wrenching, fearful cry that actually produced tears that streamed down his beautiful cheeks. The kind of cry that hurts a mother's heart because she cannot figure out what to do to help her baby stop hurting. 

So I am dine with being up with him in the middle of the night. If that's what it takes to keep him from crying during the day. 

At least there's usually Law & Order reruns on all hours of the night somewhere on satellite ;)

Sleep

I have spent the majority of today asleep. Si has been having problems with his tummy :( and I stayed up all night with him night before last and I was up all day yesterday also because of going to Mobile.
It has been a long past few days...

Jason has taken care of Si all day. And I just laid him down.

So I am going to try to go back to sleep. Because I have a feeling he won't be asleep all night...
