Thursday 16th September 2010

Wow ... things must be good! I haven't written an entry since Saturday! Monday and Tuesday nights were bad with Kaylee up at 3am ... and then making lots of noise so we didn't sleep ..... but the other nights have been good.
My earlier theory (about the poor sleep being a sign of high anxiety) is still being tested. I think it may be right. Her anxiety levels are generally up a bit .... but not out of control. The sleep is sort of at an equivalent level.
I didn't mention at the time ... I weighed her on 6th September and the weight gain is still a problem .... 0.3% per day since the last weighing. This is too fast and is due to the Risperdal which keeps her hungry! We tried taking her off the Risperdal a few weeks ago and it was a disaster ... she needs Risperdal (or something equivalent).

All the talk in this blog about the problems ..... life is still very good compared with a year ago ... or 18 months ago ..... we so easily forget the nights when Kaylia screamed for literally hours at a time.
