(Almost) 3:00 in the morning..

There's nothing worse than waking out of a sound sleep to hear your child crying frantically---especially when he's sick. (yes, now PJ5 has it)

It's really hard with an autistic child because they can't tell you how they feel and they don't know how to express what they want or need. All he has been doing for the last hour is crying or fussing, acting agitated, making weird noises with his throat, screaming, and...well...you know (it's the stomach virus-yuck!). He wants the comfort of his pacifier (which he only gets at night), but I think that actually makes his stomach upset.

Well, another hour has passed and he is finally asleep. Hopefully soon we will be too...also...you know what i mean. good night.

I'm so sorry!
I hope you were able to get some sleep at least. And that he was able to calm enough to rest.

Praying for you all.
