I am 99.9% sure that I have figured out Sammie's sleep issue. Allergies. We went to the ENT on Monday and he determined that she was a borderline canidate for her adnoids and tonsils to be removed. I was a bit bummed, since that is not the answer I wanted to here. It was Monday night that I started the Zyrtek test to see if my hunch a few weeks ago was correct. Tuesday night(day2) she slept for 11 hours STRAIGHT! I can not tell you the last time she slept that long and not in my bed! Wednesday morning she was a whole new girl~the girl we knew that was trapped in there! Wednesday night(day 3) she only got up 1 time and that was because she needed help adjusting her pillows, but was able to go right back to sleep~on her own and in her own bed all night AGAIN! Tonight is night 4 so we will see how it goes, but I can tell that she is getting better sleep already by her mood and attitude and behavior! I was almost in tears today as I heard my big girl~the one that we knew has been trapped in there!
PS~I didnt end up taking her in, just tried the Zyrtek daily instead of as needed.
