WHAT a night...

Well Holly was here to help me with jon..we got him onto the commode chair and he passed out hard-- it felt like FOREVER!!! he was out for a solid 2 minutes..i tried everything to wake up..we had him tilted back, feet up and everything..he finally came too..anyway - it was SOOOOO scary!!!!!!
Katrina is here now, i will stay up at midnite to walk her thru the cath process again..tonite i had to go thru 3 kits to make it work..which i NEVER have to do -but there is so much resistance right now..so hopefully at midnite its not as bad..
we have a system set up i think AGAIN..holly will come each night from 6-10pm and then katrina will come 10pm-10am..so we'll see how long this will last..right now the caregiver is waking up every 2 hours to care for jon..im going to try to change things around..he's been taking one med at 10pm, 12am, 2am ..etc..so im going to hold the 10pm (its the dilaudid-that were going to try to phase out eventually) med to the midnite med, and so it will be now at 12am, 4am and 8am when he's being cath'd anyway..then later we'll also try and see if he'll let us not move him till every 4 hours vs every 2 hours..this fancy mattress we have is SUPPOSE to make it so we dont have to turn him but every 6 hours..so we'll see if we can stretch it to 4 hours from the 2 hours..otherwise i feel like i'll NEVER be able to keep a caregiver here...
its also important for jon to get REM sleep..he keeps waking up so much thru the night, his body wont heal without the REM sleep..which is another reason why i prefer to have him only rotate every 4 hours vs 2 hours...
i hope he feels better tomorrow..he had a really good urine take and a really good bowel process tonite..so he should be feeling better tomorrow..he's been SOOO tired all day today..and in more pain..
please pray for him that he'll get "good sleep" good "solid sleep" that his body will reach the REM part of the sleeping process..it will help to heal his body further..pray for me that i'll get good sleep too..so im a happy person during the day...also pray that we find a caregiver that works well with our family and that will stay..
well im exhausted- im going to try to take a cat nap before im back up again at midnite..
