Hoping for sleep...

After two weeks of very little sleep, and several missed days of work, we have decided to hire someone to help with Riley overnight, despite coverage being denied by our insurance. We will have someone stay Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights, and Joel and I will rotate the other 4 nights, 2 being on the weekend. Hopefully this will get us through until Riley gets on a better sleeping schedule. We can't figure out how he keeps going. He gets the same or less sleep than we do, doesn't nap, yet fights sleep every night. It just seems his little mind gets obsessed with something and he can't let it go and it keeps him up, sometimes for hours. I believe we need to look at changing the anti psychotic medication he was put on about a month ago because I don't see that it is helping AT ALL. Joel and I have been taking turns trying to get Riley to sleep all evening, and now the nursing assistant is in there rocking him. I have to teach a class for the next two days at work, so I have got to get some sleep. Unfortunately, after 2 good nights of sleep last night and Saturday night, I'm thinking this will be one of those nights he is up until 2am. Please pray that Riley has peace and can get some good, quality sleep. Also, that we can get the right medication to help treat the compulsive behavior that keeps him up at night and keeps him so agitated during the day. Good Night All!
