What a Miserable Night!

Grant didn't sleep at all during the day yesterday, so I had high hopes for a restful night. Not so much! We didn't go to sleep until about 11:00. By midnight, he was sweating like crazy again and waking up crying. He went back to sleep and at 2 a.m. he woke up coughing and crying again. He got choked and just started vomitting. Of course he was very upset so he was crying, but he didn't have much strength so it was more like wimpering. He was not running any fever so they were trying not to give him tylenol, but at this point, they did. They also gave him Zofran for nausea. After the wonderful nurses gave him a fresh bed, he slept off and on the rest of the night, but kept coughing. And everytime he coughed, I made him sit up so he didn't get choked. At 6 a.m., I turned on some cartoons to try to distract him, b/c he was crying and didn't know why. The t.v. didn't help things b/c he couldn't open his eyes to watch it. They were almost swollen shut and poured liquid every time he tried to open them....which upset him more. So, this morning he has had more tylenol and benadryl. I will update again after the doctor sees him.
