Back to life in Michigan

Grant is starting to eat more food again and do better at home now that we are settling into our routine again. I guess he must not like transitions or something. :)

I talked to the doctor yesterday about switching the times for Grant's medication so that Jim and I can get more sleep. Right now he takes 1 out of his 6 meds at 2am and lately we've been having to work pretty hard at waking him up to get him to take it. And then we have to work pretty hard to get him back to sleep so that he can eat while he sleeps. (Okay, I need to be honest- Jim is the one who does this feeding, not me...) Needless to say, that takes quite a chunk out of the middle of the night. So, we got our doctor's permission to switch the schedule to give him that medication at 8pm, 4am and noon. Grant tends to wake up for the day at 4:30am, so we can probably give it to him then. He is pretty close to getting enough calories during the day to make this possible. It would surely change all of our lives! We tried it for the first time last night and he still was up from midnight to 2am and then again a few hours later, so we're off to a rough start. But, at least we have permission to head in the right direction. Our prayer now is that Grant would sleep from 8pm-4:30am straight. (And maybe even go back to bed after his 4/4:30am meds!) :)
