Mom Feels Better
So, today, I felt better, and I actually got some stuff done on the computer. Spane sat and watched TV all day because he said that it was too hot to go outside. His doctor warned me that Seroquel might make Spane a little lethargic, but it was hot today.
Getting Ready for School
Spane wrote in his notebook that he was going to go to bed tonight at 9:30 because he knows school is starting soon. He showed it to me just before I said it was time to make dinner.We Have Dinner
I made a nice dinner, Ham Steak with Blackberry Mustard Glaze, Mashed “Yams”, Southern Sweet Peas and Peaches Raleigh. Spane loved it, and especially liked the Peaches Raleigh. I gave him his Seroquel, two, and his pain medication at about 8:30, thinking that he would be nice and relaxed by the time he wanted to go to bed at 9:30.
It Isn't Working
We watched TV, and then I reminded Spane about going to bed at 9:30. I said he could stay up til 10:00, and he was okay with that.
About 11:00, when it was really time to go to bed, I said he needed to go to bed, and that's when he told me that the Seroquel was not working. He said that he was still hearing voices, and that the headaches were just as bad as before.
I know he's trying. He felt bad about spilling something on the floor today, so he washed both the kitchen and bathroom floors, by himself, without any help. He did a good job, but, he still didn't get tired.
It's 02:32 on Tuesday morning, August 23, 2011, and Spane is still awake, and does not seem to be getting sleepy. I have to call his doctor later this morning. This is not working!
Shit! I was so happy when I thought that the voices were gone! My poor baby! Shit! Shit! Shit!!!!!!!!!!
I just want to point out that the day before this post, you wrote: "This was the first day that Spane was having both the Seroquels at night, and none during the day. Spane stayed on the computer til about 1:00am and then he went to sleep. I stayed on the couch, and drifted in and out."
ReplyDeleteMaybe 2 at night doesn't work for Spane? Hope you figure out how to fix the problem. :(
Yes, sleep is a real problem. Apparently, Spane's metabolism acclimated to the 50 mg Seroquel without any problem. His doctor upped him to 75 mg as of tonight. We'll see how it goes. School starts on Monday, August 29, 2011, and I'm sitting here sweating bullets (literally and figuratively).
