I meant to update yesterday, but Simon had other ideas...let's just say yesterday was pretty terrible. Somehow, and I still have no idea why, he decided to stay awake from around 10:30 am until 9 pm at night, with only one or two 30 minute naps during the day. So bizarre, especially since he always has a few 2-3 hour naps during the day. It was difficult to get anything done because as the day went on he became more and more fussy from being overtired. No amount of rocking, holding him, putting him in the swing, swaddling, even feeding him (which usually calms him a lot and puts him to sleep) would help. The one nap he did get in was when, in desperation, I put him in his car seat/stroller and took him for a walk around the neighborhood. However, the minute I got home and brought his car seat upstairs he woke up. He's got some kind of sensor in there!
He did also seem to have a larger than usual amount of hunger, gas, and stools yesterday so maybe that in combination with being overtired just sent him over the edge. He did sleep pretty well last night, though, woke up only to eat and then went right back to sleep.
His blood draw on Friday went well. He didn't cry as much as the first one and mostly just seemed upset that someone kept holding his foot. The results were pretty good; his T4 levels are in range for his age but TSH was a little too low so we're dropping the dose of his levothyroxine a bit. And we have to recheck levels in 2 weeks, which sucks...I hope this new dosing is good so that we don't have to keep checking his levels so frequently.
