The past few days have been much calmer comparatively speaking. Dawson has settled back into a more normal seizure routine that doesn't involve those awful things we saw last week.
Sleep has been one of the issues we are dealing with as of late. Dawson used to be a horrible sleeper but then got into a pretty good routine of sleeping. Going to bed at a decent hour and for the most part he was sleeping through the night ( In our bed of course)
But seems now that he just can't quite get himself settled into a deep enough sleep. I think it has a lot to do with seizures myself. Well not necessarily seizures, but brain activity while trying to sleep would probably be more correct to say. At any rate, Its a lot like sleeping with a tumbleweed. I usually get the feet end of the business which means I now wake in the mornings with my back and kidneys aching from being mule kicked all night long. The past couple of night I have made our sectional my bed, and my back feels MUCH better in the morning. Imagine that.
Dawson's mood has been a little better the past couple of days. The evenings can get kinda iffy at times especially when he gets sleepy. We have decided to go back and give the Melatonin another try for a while to see if that wont help solve some of the sleeping issues.
Your prayers and support mean the world to us and praying for our son is the greatest thing you could EVER do for our family. Thank you!!
Our love to all

About Me
- Dawson
- Dawson was born Sept 4 2007 and was diagnosed as having Infantile Spasms when he was 2 months old. Infantile spasms are a rare seizure disorder. Our story is one of faith and hope. Dawson now has multiple seizure types as well as developmental delays. We are prayerful that we will be able to find a way to stop the seizure monster that lurks in his brain. Your prayers and support mean the world to us.

Glad to hear things are better! Whenever we have a little tosser-and-turner in the bed with us I usually make a buffer (one of those king pillows alongside me) so I don't get so beat up--of course your 'mule' is a bit bigger:) With love, JnV:)
So glad to hear things have taken a turn for the better!
We give Hudson melatonin every night (1mg) between that and his anti-seizure meds, it knocks him out! I am not sure how you parents of kiddos that don't sleep do it...that is my one saving grace...Hudson sleeps, and on the rare occasion he doesn't I know something is wrong!
I will be praying for seizure relief and sleep for all of you!
Blessings to all of you! xoxo Deb
Sleep has been a huge issue for a while fo us too. Connor has JUST this week started sleeping through the night again. (knock on wood it lasts) But, when he does end up in the bed with us, he is all over the place & james' back and belly do get a brunt of it. Maybe these boys know not to hurt their mommies!!! Sorry! Definitley try the Melatonin again & see how it goes. You know you are ALWAYS in my prayers!!
