ESmith's Journal

Tired, tired, tired.  That sums up how I feel today.  I don't know if its the heat down here, the constant driving Shaun back and forth to and from Karate camp, or just the fact that I haven't been getting enough sleep.  Probably a combo of both.  Whatever the reason, I am exhausted today.  I got some good news this morning.  Shaun's psychiatrist called me with news that the insurance company approved payment for the Daytrana patch.  Hooray!  Shaun desprately needs this for ADHD, and I thought I was about to have to try another pill form of meds, which I did NOT want to do.  Wellcare finally came through for us.  Took Jordan to the park today to kill some time before we picked Shaun up from Karate, and he got way over heated.  He was not sweating at all, his face was red, and his skin was so hot.  I sprayed him with water but it didn't seem to help, so we just got back in the car and blasted the airconditioning.  This sucks for him, since he loves to be outdoors. 

For the past few weeks, I have been plaqued by ensomnia.  I've tried Tylenol PM and Benedryl, but neither have worked.  I am relunctant to take a sleep aid because I'm afraid I won't wake up if Jordan needs me during the night.  Anyone have a suggestion?
