Sleeping concerns

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!!

We're still waiting for an opening at the hospital for Jake to get

started on the diet. We were really hoping for before school starts

but doesn't look that way.

had a 7 minute seizure on Thursday and had trouble breathing

during the seizure so we called 911 and we took him into Children's

Hospital in Boston. All they did was to check his levels with his

meds and then send him home. We know he's having seizures while he

sleeps but he insists on sleeping in his own bed. I'm scared to

death to let him do that but he's almost 7 and is trying so hard to

be a " big boy " . It feels like I " m up every 1/2 hour checking on

him. He had 2 small seizures this afternoon while he took a nap but

he got himself out of them within a minute or so. Am I being too

paranoid? My husband seems to sleep through me getting up. He also

seems to sleep through Jake waking up at night too. It's so hard

because he has to be up to go to work in the morning and being

military it's not like he can call in and say he's going to be

late. I'm exhausted both physically and emotionally and we haven't

even started the diet yet.

Knowing that we're going to be starting the diet, can you give me

some different reciep ideas to let Jake try so it's not such a shock

for him? Any ideas will be appreciated!!
