When we sense threat/danger, some of us freeze and hope that if we stay still long enough, the threat/danger won't notice us and will move on. It's a physiological reality and it does things like make you feel very tired, sleepy, lethargic, or slow when things are rough. I don't know if that's any comfort, but a very protective, ancient, automatic part of your brain is telling you to sleep. If his brain isn't telling Guy to sleep, he might just be in fight or flight mode, or just having a different reaction.Abacaxi Mamaohttp://abacaximamao.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-20650207916816232472013-12-02T14:16:25.498-06:002013-12-02T14:16:25.498-06:00oh.......I understand.......It is so hard.....and ...oh.......I understand.......It is so hard.....and we are soooooo tired.....I do hope the rest of our families survive this as much as I hope our cancer kids survive this.

Which is to say - (a) your kids aren't being neglected and (b) there is no doubt that this will touch them forever, but you and Guy, I have no doubt, will pull them through with love and wit.Maranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21565739.post-66989175196585772232013-11-25T12:13:05.345-06:002013-11-25T12:13:05.345-06:00Abbi, do you know about Jeremy's Circle?

They also try to match kids up with peers locally. http://www.jeremyscircle.org/en/what-jeremys-circle-does<br /><br />As always, you have my love & support fiercely in your corner. You're a fantastic mother...and you're doing the best job anyone possibly could. <br />Persephonenoreply@blogger.com
