Night time sleep

This last month has been horrible as far as sleeping. Two weeks ago Billy Boy (and I) slept maybe four hours all weekend. I asked his Rehabilitation Doctor if we could go up on Neurontin, since it seems like he is experiencing more pain and sensitivity in his leg with the dislocated hip. We finally got approval, and we are finally getting some sleep. In fact, last night is the first time in a long time that he was asleep by midnight, stayed asleep all night, and woke up by noon. In the past there have been times that he has slept 18-24 hours straight out of sheer exhaustion, but he sleeps all day and is back to being awake all night. This time he actuallly woke up at noon! I'm so excited, because when he sleeps all night, I only have to get up once or twice. I felt so well rested today and didn't even need a nap. I am praying this continues.

This last weekend we did our first family outing with Billy Boy that didn't involve a Doctors appointment. We took him to a Relay For Life cancer walk in Azusa Pacific University. He hung in there and we all had a good time (he even wore the brace most of the time.) We are also back to standing him up and he seems to be tolerating it once again.
