T minus 4

it's T minus about 4 hours here.

in a few short minutes, ryan will finally get to go to bed, and i'll be right behind him! he has his EEG in the morning, and for this test he needs to be sleep deprived. so we have to keep him up until midnight tonight (which has so far been a breeze!), and then at 4am we have to wake him up and keep him awake until his appointment at 7:30am tomorrow morning.

if you're still awake and are so inclined, or if you're awake at 4am (why on earth would anyone in their right mind get up that early though?!), please say a little prayer for us that we'll have a good early morning with ryan and that we'll be able to keep him awake! i have some tricks up my sleeve to hopefully help in this endeavor (including a $60 elmo toy that was bought tonight with all intentions of returning it after we play with it tomorrow morning!!) so hopefully all will go well!

thanks a million!

Well, assuming we're in the same time zone (central?), only an hour to go! Hope the morning has been easy and praying for a good restful day for all of you!

Prayed for you guys today. Hoping the fam gets some much needed "restful" sleep tonight! Any idea when you'll get Ryan's results?
