The sleepless week

Wow! What a week! Time flies by for me as I am constantly doing something. And I am constantly behind....I don't know how it works out like that but it does ;)
Ricky spent most of this entire week fighting sleep. I thought he was going to set the record for hours awake at one point.
He always has a full week between nurses and therapists coming out to check on him, in addition he had a lot of visitors this week. Normally would wear someone out but he just kept going.
If he doesn't sleep he starts seeing things so that's a fun side effect of the no sleep process too!
We've built many houses and have re done numerous rooms and buildings, throughout the early morning hours.
That's still one topic I cannot get him off of ... Work.
He worked for so long and loved what he did, he's constantly making material lists in his head and taking measurements I have to remember 😉
I've tried everything to help self soothe him and nothing works. I started giving him melatonin per my sisters advice, last night.
Tonight he finally went to sleep after he got his night time meds which is what he's supposed to do.
I also added the DVD player and just put a familiar movie on for him and left it. He didn't want to watch anything as usual but I did it anyway. I think that helped....
Anyway thank you to everyone who has donated supplies to us! Very Much needed!
We wouldn't have made it this far without the help of our family and friends so thank you soooo much we greatly appreciate you! xoxo
