Day 468 - September 26 - No Better
Well, it doesn't seem that we have any impact on battling Connor's pain and saturation issues. They'll get less for a few days, but then they're right back again. Last night, and for the past few nights, Connor just can't sleep unless we give him a lot of meds to get him there. His neck will be in almost agonizing pain, where no amount of ice, massage, and readjustment of his head will help. We try stretching his muscles, we try shifting his position, and nothing helps. This morning at 0400, while we were trying to help him get even a little bit comfortable, he said "I can't do this pain every night". But nothing we do makes it better. Please be praying about this for him - we're having to give him very large doses of his medications just to get through the nights.
It's weird - during the day he's usually alright - it's just at night that he has these issues. So on top of the actual situation, we all get shorter and shorter and shorter with each other as our tiredness level rises, and that makes it even more difficult.
How long, Lord? How long?

Possible idea. The first few months I was home I too was having sleepless nights. I was having issues with spasms. Mom and I were frustrated about it. You said there are no issues while Connor was up during the day. Have you tried getting up for a few minutes or hours? We finally started that with me. I have some rough nights now but usually there is a reason. I hope it works. I'll be praying.
I am really sorry to hear that the nights are rough, it seems like that has been a constant thing from day one. You know that I will be praying hard for a restful tonight and into the week. May God shower you with mercy and grace in this current struggle. The Connorwatchers are praying for you Williamsons!
I will be praying for Connor and for his parents as well.:)
I am often up at night myself,unable to sleep. I would be happy to have this be the case if only to intercede for Connor during this time frame.
Blessings to each one of you.
