“Oh Mister Sandman, bring me a dream…”
Two weeks after putting Stanton on the research medication from the University of MO, a long overdue and much anticipated visitor arrived on our doorstep – the Sandman! Sleep is an amazing experience that we have craved for almost 2 years. Stanton’s nights have been so dire that my husband and I take turns sleeping on the twin mattress on the floor in his room. Most nights, we’re lucky to get 2 hours of sleep at a time. Out of all the things we’ve endured these past 24 months, I’m most impressed with the way we’ve survived without sleep. Stanton’s frequent expulsions from both ends didn’t really change much, but somehow the arrival of the Sandman brought a new found hope back into our home.
Oh Ginger, we pray for Stanton daily in our house. We also pray for strength and patience. We will continue to do this and be thankful for the sleep that has found its way to your little guy!
