The hospital called today and asked all kinds of questions about Jacob. What procedure is he having, and why, allergies, etc. We still don't have a time though. They did say he could bring one item of comfort with him as long as it's clean. I guess, Pooh and the Cardinals blanket will be making a trip into the washing machine and Jacob can decide which he wants to take before we go in.
Jacob hasn't been sleeping well for a few months now and I can't sleep if I know he's awake. Last night, for instance, he went to bed at 8:00 (was up at 5AM, and no nap either), he fell asleep rather quickly, but woke up about 11:30 and was just unconsolable. After rocking in his room, lying on the floor by his bed, and many times of walking out with him crying even louder, we finally brought him into our bed after midnight. He calmed down and lay still without a peep for about 30 minutes, then Daddy took him back to his bed and he went back to sleep, again without a peep. I heard him about 1:00 AM, playing and jabbering to himself, I heard him again at 4, once more at 5, and he was awake at 7, and in a pretty good mood. I don't know if there is pressure in his ears that makes him uncomfortable through the night, if he has dreams or what but, we repeat this sequence about every 3 days. He'll do this for 2 nights, sleep through the next night, some days he's an angel, some he's a bear. I have no idea how to make him sleep through, I'm hoping the tubes will provide the answer.
I hope the tubes provide the answer, too. Ugh, that is no way to live indefinitely...not enough sleep for mama or Jacob! :(
