I don't know you guys, something is wrong w/ Brook. For a couple weeks now Brook just has not been herself. She's been falling asleep w/ no milk. Not Brooker. She has been saying she is tired just a few hours after waking up. Then she will go for nap time, a couple hrs, and wake up SCREAMMMING She feels warm but not overly warm. She just wants to scream and cuddle. I think reflux, maybe? I try to get the burps out. I think the sleep apena, maybe? Growth spurt, maybe? She even feels lighter. Not the heavy 42 lb chunk of a kid I pack around. LIke yesterday, she woke up 6 am, normal time. Wanted to sleep by 9am. No nap, just cuddles. By 1 pm she couldn't keep her eyes open so we layed down. She slept for 1 1/2 hrs and woke up screaming, again. Went to sleep at 6:30pm and woke up at 7 am this morning. She was saying she was tired all morning and then at 1'ish, went down for a nap. It's now 9:15pm and she is still sleeping. No dinner. No potty. I think i'll call Dr Tami in the morning. This will be a long night Brook woke up at 10:00 pm. Had some chicky soup and yougurt and back to bed at 11:00pm and slept all night. Woke up at 7:00am. She seems well rested now. I'll wait for Dr T to call back. I sure don't want to have her in the Dr office if I don't have to. Love Dr Tami!! She just called. We're uping her Zantac. She's calling in some amox just in case a sinus infection is there. Doesn't seem like that but ya never know w/ Brooker. She's pretty sure it's the sleep apena catching up w/ her. We'll go to the Marriott on Monday and hopefully the sleep study will anwser some question. This *$%@ is stressing me out...LOL

Hard to diagnose from here, specially since I'm no doctor. But when was last time you had Brook's thyroid function checked? And what were her numbers? Maybe something to check with your Dr. Tami about and maybe get the labs next time she has to have blood drawn. Has she shown any other symptoms, like cold hands and feet, puffy face? She's not turning orange/yellow with her hair falling out, is she? Meanwhile, hope she perks up and feels better soon. -- Bob

LOLOL Bob... Silly boy. She is not turning orange and yellow. Hair is still intact. Is that a symptom of something? If so, I don't mean to laugh. She doesn't appear to be cold, her eyes, now that I look closer, are a bit puffy. I thought of thyroid too and will do a blood pannel next time we're at the doc's. Up till now all blood work has been fine. I do realize it can change. I got her the amox and gave her more zantac yesterday. We went to v~ball and she did fine. Came home, she wanted no dinner, just bed, and she crashed out hard and slept all night. It's really hard for me to tell about the sinus issue. With that pesky laringoteacheamalasia, she always sounds congested. She is not, just sounds that way. For those who don't know the sound I speak of, here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlYaN0e_cAs(This is the park out behind the house where a cougar was spotted a few weeks back. We'll not be walking there anymore LOL) I always hear, "oh does she have croup?". I don't even know really what croup is. I try to explain what the noise is to the concerned lady in the grocery, but big words and lack of understanding, confuse people. Hell, it had me confused for yearrrrs. Now, sadly, it is just Brooks funny noise, that i'm "used to". We're headed home today and will rest alot. Got the baby vicks and the cool air mist thing, a bag of med's, and some cookies too Monday will be here soon. I just get so worried about Brooker. She is my whole world.

Just this am Hub's said it was time for a visit to the coast. BUT, last night there was a tornado there, OMG, and it messed some things up like 25 houses in a 3 block area right where we always go. Not good. Maybe a different part of the beach this trip She seems to be just about the same. Monday will be the sleep study.

Oh Jenn....I sure hope Brook starts to improve. How frustrating to watch her just be so tired! and boring right? What do you do all day while she is sleeping? I sure hope she gets back to her crazy, active, cute self!

I hate trying to explain that noise too-Kaelyn has it, and when I told the ENT, he gave her nasonex! My mom would always say "she's congested". No, she's not. oh well. I hope Brook is feeling better. I've learned to go with your gut, if you feel like something is different, then most likely it is! Kaelyn has been sleeping more lately, but also eating more, so I think she's just in a growth spurt.

Well, still waiting on sleep study results. Dr Tami has not called yet. Last time I remember getting the results in a couple days. Maybe their busy. Brooker is about the same. We do have some new adjustments to get used to being Mary has to be up so early for her school, but soon a routine will be made and hopefully Dr Tami will call soon. {{{HUGS}}}}
