How this face could have put me through what he did for the last 24 hours is beyond me?! I can handle meltdowns. I almost feel like I'm a professional at it. I've been trained by professionals to deal with them so why was I in tears today? Lucas didn't sleep for two days! Which means, I didn't sleep for two days. He has never slept right but every once in a while he goes through these times where he doesn't sleep at all for reasons beyond me. Because of the stomach bug a few days ago, he didn't really eat that much for the last few days, which is another normal issue, so that in itself was enough to bring on a meltdown. The combination of the sleep deprivation and hunger from being sick made me witness a whole new level of meltdown that I didn't know existed! It was so bad that I actually called and took him to the pediatrician to make sure there wasn't something seriously wrong with him. He's has meltdowns all of the time but they've never lasted more than an hour. This one lasted for 24 hours with no sleep! My hands were shaking it was so bad. He has a molar tooth that just broke through the gum. He is ultra sensitive to pain and she said it could be the cause of the entire event. When he gets like this it breaks my heart! I just want to comfort him like most Mothers can comfort their children but he is inconsolable. I think because he can't communicate it frustrates him even more. He kept saying Boo Boo, hup, hup! (hup is help) That's as far as it goes. He can't tell you were he hurts, or even point to where it hurts. He just stares and says the same thing over and over again. I think it overwhelms me so much because as a Mother I should automatically know but I don't. As hard as I try to understand what he's trying to say I just can't figure it out.

This is the reason why I started this blog.  To let other parents know what I've been through so they know that they aren't alone and to get responses and support from parents who've gone through it and made it out alive!  LOL 

NOTE TO SELF:  STOP ASKING GOD FOR PATIENCE!
