Sunday night LJ woke up at 4am-for good that day. He never went back to bed and we only could get him to nap for 30 minutes. Last night he woke up at 3:00am. By 4am he had fallen asleep on my shoulder but as soon as I transferred him to his big boy bed, he started screaming. He's been up ever since.
On to some good news, LJ had his weight checked yesterday. We are on an upward trend. To give you some idea, his initial baseline weight was 27.2 lbs. He dropped to 25.8 lbs on 4/12/11 and as of now he is up to 26.45 lbs.
We're just tired. Tired of feeling like we spend our entire day hand-feeding LJ in the hope that we hit the spot with that one food. Tired of worrying about the calories and whether its alright for cookies and crackers to be his main food source. Who needs protein anyway?
Throw in the towel or push harder? I know we'll get through this just like all the other challenges we've faced. It's not that difficult given all LJ's been through. And this is precisely what we had been told how it would be. Giving up is not an option. We wouldn't give up on him. Luckily, we will have Markus and Jeni helping us through the end of this week. I think I shall cry when I have to take Markus to the airport.
