Day 5- Friday

I'm already losing track of the days.  It's so strange to be living in an apartment far from everything. 

1st Dive- he came out lethargic and sleepy.  This was the first time he wasn't really energized.  We're watching a teeny bit of a runny nose.  We'll pick up some medicines at the store to help with it.  Nasonex for possible ear problems- pressure and redness.  They suggest it for each person even before starting treatments.  We had seen a Hyperbaric Pediatrician for approval for these treatments so she had already written a prescription for him just in case.  If a cold turns into bad sinus pressure or congestion then going into a pressurized tank can feel like torture to the ears and they would want us to stop.  We can't stop because when would we have time to come back to finish it?  40 treatments is sort of the minimum they suggest for effectiveness too.

Nap- 1 hour

2nd Dive - he's definitely onto us.  But he's also not acting quite himself today.  He's more sleepy/lethargic and fussed a lot more going into the chamber even though he was rested.  Luckily they were watching elmo and it turned out alright.

Didn't get the afternoon nap and didn't play on the floor after the session because we had to bring Sarah home.  We went into town and although he was sleepy he didn't nap in the car- no surprise.  He once (recently) rode in a car from 2am until 3pm the next day and slept maybe 2 hours in that more than 12 hour time period. 

Getting him to sleep was actually easy- not pain-free - plenty of crying - but it lasted a short amount of time.  He woke up after 30 minutes and continued in this awful pattern of waking up frequenty until I had to wake him up for our earlier than usual session at 7.

He had the whole day off of all reflux meds.  Out of curiosity to how bad the acid reflux was I didn't overlap the meds as suggested.  I think it was more than obvious that he still needs them.
