Me with Brian        

        Brian is doing well. He is a bit of a handful, but we are working hard to get him on a schedule and adjusted to his new home. At night, his muscles tighten and have spasms that keep him from sleeping. For the first two nights, he was pretty much up the entire night. Then he is tired and cranky throughout most of the day, and takes a few short naps during the day. Last night, we gave him some pain killers before bed and he finally slept almost through the whole night, with a short food break in the middle. 

Naptime!

It’s hard to get him to sleep anytime because he gets scared and screams if you lay him on his back. I think that he had just been left alone for so long he is scared that in that position that will happen to him again. We are working on getting him some things that he can sit in and play in so that he can use more energy during the day. Despite his physical ailments, Brian is such a sweet and happy kid. He loves being around and even playing with the other kids.Pray for his adjustment and that he starts being a good sleeper. 

Such a happy boy with a little bit of sleep.
