Today Ben slept. ALL DAY. Probably because he was awake all night. Dr. Filiano took away his sleeping medication because his heart stopped for 8 seconds a couple of nights ago. They aren't sure why, but clonidine can slow the heart down and so they felt it was best to take him off. I agreed although this med has been such a life changer the last 3 years in the fact that Ben would sleep through the whole night. Before he would go days without sleep, which meant Steve and I did too. I can handle anything as long as I can sleep. Dr. Filiano is hoping to try another medication on him tomorrow if he has another sleepless night. Silly Ben. Another antibiotic was added due to a positive blood culture. He's stable from a respiratory stand point and there have been no fevers today.

Benny, no more scaring your mom like that! I'm glad you were able to sleep today sweet boy. We love you.
Look at him with his eyes wide open! CUTE!!!
(but probably not at 3am)
Hope you get some sleep tonight!
That tracing is quite alarming! I agree with the doctor that it's worrisome. I hope they find a new sleep med quickly. My Peanut takes chloral hydrate every night for sleep. Otherwise, none of us sleep!
I hope he feels better soon so you can all get back home.
I'm glad he's doing better today. Looking at that strip is just freaky! We are in the hospital and i'm hoping we can stay off the vent!
Oh no, that is very scary! I hope he gets better soon, not just soon, but NOW!!! Lots o' hugs from ME... as if he knows who I am... that's ok, I'll pretend he does. :)
You just rest Ben! Get better soon and head home with your wonderful family! I'll be praying! LOVE and BIG HUGS!!!
Get some rest Ben. Prayers that he can come home soon!
