[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 290029, member: 3444"] Thanks for the sunburn care tips! He ended up feeling better after the cool temp. bath and was able to sleep. Today it was stinging, but bearable. He's still up watching TV :( I need to go yell at him in a minute to shut it off. difficult child 2 on the other hand is having a rough night. He/I forgot his afternoon Seroquel, and by the time I remembered, it just seemed like it was too late. I think that was a big mistake. By 8pm he was calling husband and I on the phone (we went out to dinner close by since we had a gift certificate and the kids didn't want to go anywhere) -- actually it was difficult child 1 on the phone saying that difficult child 2 was upset and saying he felt crazy and was just acting weird. I could hear difficult child 2 in the background kind of talking to himself and making weird noises and saying he couldn't stand how he was feeling. So I got him on the phone to talk. I asked if his head was buzzing again, and he said sort of -- he said he just felt hyper and like his head was a filing cabinet that had exploded from the inside. His thoughts were just zipping past and he couldn't hold onto them and it was making him mad. It was still early for his evening medications, but when I asked if he thought he needed them he said yes. So I checked to see if he remembered what to take since his pill box was empty, which he did, then I told difficult child 1 to supervise and told him what difficult child 2 was supposed to take and said to just make sure he doesn't make a mistake. Then I told difficult child 2 to go up to our room and watch TV until we got there, and asked difficult child 1 to sit with him. Then difficult child 1 put the phone down and forgot to hang up. I could hear difficult child 2 sort of yelling at himself and carrying on that if this is what crazy feels like he doesn't want to find out what happens next. So we high-tail it home (we'd already finished dinner and had been just strolling outside). difficult child 2 is lying in our bed quietly when we walked in, engrossed by the TV show. We talk to him some more and he's anxious and his pupils are dilated and he's agitated. All from one missed Seroquel, I'm thinking! He's asking how long it will take for his medications to work, poor kid. Then I ask him if he wants me to call the psychiatrist to let him know what's going on, and if he wants to leave part of the message. He does, so we make the call and he gives his file cabinet description again. I also told psychiatrist about the insomnia the last two nights -- but that he only missed one dose of one medication today. So we'll see if I get a call back tomorrow with any instructions to adjust the medications. He's still up reading with his light on and can't sleep and it's nearly midnight. I did get him up earlier today. Gave him his Depakote at 9am and forced him out of bed at 10am. It just seems like maybe he needs more Depakote... we'll see. [/QUOTE]
