No Sleep!

Keri is going through a very difficult time at the moment. We have had very little sleep for the last several nights. The issues are always different, but they all mean that she (and I) does (do) not sleep. Last night was the worst yet. We were in bed by 10:00 but she couldn't get to sleep. She needed a drink, then she needed an antacid pill, then she needed to go to the bathroom. Then we started through the list again. It was something about every 30 minutes. Around 4:00 am, I decided that she needed to sit up. I got her settled in her chair, covered with a blanket, and watching TV. She settled in. I got up several times to check but did get some sleep. Each time I looked in, she was watching the TV. When I went in at 6:00, she was wide awake, but later during breakfast, she kept falling asleep. I wonder if she will sleep all day and we will go through all of this again. It has been several days since she has had a bowel movement and several times last night she mentioned that she "hurt." I'm wondering if we are dealing with constipation again.

Ian posted this wonderful photo of Keri and I on his Facebook page. It has generated a great many comments. I'll try to post it later.
