Rough night.
Josiah woke up at 3:30am to use the bathroom.
After I got him settled back into bed, he started crying uncontrollably because he remembered his dad had to go back to work.
I think it was the combination of being tired and the medication, but he was sobbing.
It made me cry to see him cry.
He hasn't cried much... mostly yelling... so to see him sobbing over his daddy going to work re-broke my heart.
At that same time, Jackson woke up. I got him back to sleep within 30 minutes, but it took Josiah several "talks," prayers, and hugs over the span of 90 minutes to fall back asleep. I fell asleep around 5am, and Jackson was up for the day at 6:15am.
ZOMBIE MOM.
Josiah didn't want any pain medication when he woke up at 7 to use the bathroom.
I cautioned him that if his pain "reached the top of the mountain" it would take awhile for the medication to "catch it," but if we give you medicine now, while the pain is still flat, the medicine will just cover it up and it won't hurt."
He said he didn't need it, and I didn't give it to him because I thought maybe it was feeling better.
Well, an hour & 1/2 later, when he was really awake, he started screaming "Oowww! Mommy! Mommy! It's hurting!!!! It's hurting!!!! Mommy!"
So I gave it to him, but I knew it would take over 30 minutes to help.
Great way to start out the day--- exhausted, and having your child screaming in pain.
Praying the day gets better from here, that Josiah is able to be comfortable, and that sometime I can catch a nap.
