Pain
There is nothing quite like watching your three year old, at 1:00 in the morning, be unable to get comfortable and sleep because his body is in so much pain. So much pain that a shot of morphine and a Tylenol can’t make it go away. I say there is nothing like it - if there is, I never want to see it. In fact, I never want to see Judah go through this again! I would give just about anything for him to be able to sleep.
Update: 2:55 am
Right now it seems he has finally dozed off for at least a little bit. I’m not sure if he doesn’t hurt as much, or if he’s just exhausted - but if he’s sleeping, I’m all for it.
Update: 7:45 am
Well, I don’t know what made the difference, but Judah has been sleeping pretty much solid since about 3:30 this morning. It is safe to say that last night is the worst night I’ve ever had, and that it’s not an experience that I’d wish upon anyone.

Michael,
I am so sorry for Judah and for you! I know it must be important and soothing for him to have you close & helping to bear his pain.

Hang tough. It is not easy, I have been there with both children. You give them love and do all you can, but you can’t take the pain away. I am anxious to read what they found out with the CT scan.
