I may be in and out briefly until the baby gets better. She is running a low fever but she is not eating and will only sleep ON ME. She refuses to allow me to sit so getting on here may be difficult until she decides to play again. Anyone have a baby that shakes wildly when they wake up? It just started and it is almost frantic. It happens when she reaches for her bottle like she is weak and when she wakes up. It is weird! It's not a seizure. It is weird enough I want to see a doctor but not weird enough to go to the ER. Unfortunately, her mother let her medicaid stop so I am trying to get her on Emma's. It is a state funded children's program that we pay a small amount for each month. It takes a bit to get her on so in the meantime I am paying out of pocket for all her meds and visits.
I will respond to your many comments about Ava as soon as I can. I appreciate all your thoughts ans ideas. We are trying one Lisa suggested to me on the phone and it makes me quietly laugh to myself.

- I am the mother of 10 children, 6 are part of a large sibling group we adopted through foster care in 2006, 2 are our grown foster daughters, 2 are from independent infant adoptions in 2001 and 2008. Every one of them have their own issues to work through from Schizo-Affective Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Complex PTSD, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, ADHD, and Cerebral Palsy. Most of our children have been victims of sexual abuse by a close family member, most acted out sexually or exhibited predatory behaviors. We are currently trying to figure out where the trauma ends and mental illness begins in each of their lives.

Hoping Kiera is getting better.
Also, hoping the prescription is working. Hee hee! Keeping my fingers crossed anyway....
I had a diabetic pregnancy which can result in a baby with unstable blood sugar. What you are describing was one of the symptoms they told me to watch out for.
I'm not saying that is the problem, just that it could be.
My daughter some shakes a lot when waking up when she's been sleeping really really hard. She's done it off and one since birth (now 4). We asked the dr once about it and were told it was normal.
Of course, that doesn't address other symptoms, I just wanted to say something about this part of it.
