Taking the Scenic Route

A sleepless night might have solved the mystery of what is up with Zane.  Last night I couldn’t get to sleep because of all the things on my mind.  As I lay there, I start noticing that Zane keeps almost waking up because his sinuses are draining and he is occasionally snorting, murmuring, and then trying to get comfortable again.  It dawned on me as I lay there that all of the symptoms he was having could easily be attributed to sleep deprivation.  He is getting enough hours, but I don’t think he is getting good quality sleep.  He isn’t waking fully all the time, but I am pretty sure he is waking out of the deep sleep.

I talked the doctor today and she said it would take about a week to see if the allergy meds work (only had his 3rd dose about 10 minutes ago) and that she would give us some ear drops to see if it helps with him constantly covering his ears.  It will take a bit to see, but allergies would be manageable, although a PITA, at least it wouldn’t be attributable to the vaxes.  So, it is a waiting game now to see how this plays out, but there is a viable, workable alternative to vax damage. 

There are some interesting rumors and speculations we discovered today in regards to the University, and it could prove interesting for us (in a good way).  Hmmmm…..  He also has a bunch of resumes out at some of the local businesses (we want to stay around here for at least another year or so he can finish his thesis without the distraction of moving, but we don’t want to move anyplace in December/January if we can help it.  Been there, done that, ice storms and moving are not a good mix.)

And some cute pictures…we were on the way out the door and she had a new dress on from Grammie & Papo, so we decided to snap a few pictures before any stains.  lol.
