Skyler is still not sleeping.  He is awake all night long and all day long.  Its so strange, we just dont know whats going on with him right now.  They tried a new sleeping pill last night and it didnt do anything but make him an emotional wreck.  He didnt get sleepy but he did get really mad and sad and frustrated.  It was a hard night to say the least.   I had the nurse read me the side effects of the drug because he was having some sort of reaction to it, and guess what was on the list....insomnia.  Are you kidding me?!  Haha what a fabulous sleeping pill.  Lets just say he will never get that medicine again.
This past week and a half Skylers new best friend has been his pink barf bucket.  He has just been so sick and constantly throwing up. He is also still spiking fevers as high as 105 degrees F at least twice a day.  So he is just pretty much miserable all the time.  He does put up a good front of being ok though even though I know he isnt feeling good.  He has learned that if he says he doesnt feel good then most likely the nurse will come in with medicine and even sometimes a poke.  Poor kiddo.  He is still talking and being pretty darn cute though.  He keeps making everybody laugh with his little comments and please and thank yous.

He got another platelet and blood transfusion today.  The matched platelets have helped in bringing his counts up higher right after he gets transfused though, so he has been getting them every other day now instead of everyday which is an improvement.  One day his counts jumped up to over 200!  Holy cow thats super high for him.  It was funny because all the doctors and nurses couldnt believe that that was actually HIS platelet count.  Of course the next day it dropped down to 20, but still thats great that it went up that high.
