Mickey is *gasp* sleeping!!!! And not JUST sleeping. She is sleeping well and taking naps again! This is a huge breakthrough for us :). She started having trouble sleeping at about age 2. She absolutely refused to take naps (in fact her stubbornness and refusal led to shoving something up her nose in protest and we had to take her to the ER to have it vacuumed out lol). Everyone told me "oh maybe she just doesn't need them anymore". But she was soooo cranky. And then the trouble sleeping at night started. Long story short, she wasn't sleeping!
Anyway.... She's been gluten-free since about July, but even that hadn't helped her sleep. So we started Melatonin at night. That worked wonders *happy Mommy*. But she was still super cranky in the evening and naps were a terrible fight everyday. A little over a week ago we started her on a pretty heavy vitamin regiment (well, heavy for a 4 year old that is) after her doctors finally agreed she has Fibromyalgia. She currently takes 10 different suppliments totaling 16 pills (17 on days that are really bad). Since then she has started taking a nap every day :)! It has done wonders for her attitude in the evening. Now if I could just find a way to fix her attitude when she first wakes up, lol.
Amee's new glasses came in 2 weeks ahead of schedule :) *happy Mommy again*. She had to get bi-focals this time. Poor kid, even my vision isn't so messed I need bi-focals (my glasses are just so thick that they cost a small fortune). Hopefully these will help her reading (hoping hoping hoping). Now I just have to find time to go pick them up. Having one car (and having to let hubby use it everyday for work) is really a pain.
