Late Night with Ellis

We can tell Ellis is feeling better than she did earlier this week. She has much more energy and is eager to play. Even with the hospital stay and all the medication, her sleep schedule hasn't changed at all. We were hoping to get her to an earlier bedtime, but no such luck. She's still not sleepy at all until about 1:30 or 2:00 am no matter what we do! I have read every article, talked to experienced parents, and consulted the doctors. The consensus is that unless we are willing to move her bedtime forward around the clock (keeping her up until 3am, then 4am, then 5am, etc. until we get all the way around again to 9pm), nothing else is going to work. We are weighing the pros and cons but will probably not do this. I don't think this old Mama could take it. So for now, we are just making the best of these late nights. And what's more fun in the middle of the night than oreos, John Cusack movies, and glowsticks?

Thanks, Joe & Moe, for the glowstick fun!
