medical update

So I lied - this is my next post and I'm not at home. I thought I'd update on the madness that has ensued tonight. Today's first dose of Benedryl wore off about 5:00 and the maddening itching began again. We were having to hold her hands so she started rubbing her head on the side rails of the bed, pillows, us, everything. She calmned down long enough to begin playing and coloring again and we now know it was a cop out because a few minutes later she was shoving crayons into her head wrap to scratch her head! Needless to say, despite our best efforts and another dose of Benadryl, she completly tore out 8 of her leads and displaced several others. They just finished replacing the leads and re-wrapping her head - they woke her to do this - Benadryl makes her antsy and irritable - her head was still itching - are you getting the picture of why it took three adults to hold her down during this process? What a nightmare!!! And we were almost on our way home without one of these MAJOR MELTDOWNS/FITS!!! Please pray for a full nights sleep and being able to come home first thing in the morning - the neuro should be by about 8:00am - hope she gets the process rolling and we are on the road by noon. We have received many texts, calls and messages this weekend - THANK YOU ALL!
