Jakob had a super spazz episode last night. It scared me to death! So bad I was in tears, though it doesn’t take much for me.
He was laying on the couch sleeping and out of nowhere, woke up in this AWFUL screaming and screeching fit! He was inconsolable. I tried to get him to take his antibiotic and he wouldn’t take it. It was like something had taken over my baby for a good 5 minutes or so. Nothing Dylan or I did helped him in that 5 minutes, which at the time seemed like an eternity.
I think the Lortab is getting to him. He wasn’t himself at all. I wonder, can kids get addicted or at least go through the withdrawal symptoms? Cause that’s almost what it seemed like. I managed to calm him down enough and talk him into taking some for the immense amount of pain he seemed to be in and within 20 minutes of taking it, he was good ol Jakob again.
We decided to keep him home today, and for the rest of the week, so that he can relax and come off the pain medicine. He’s doing wonderful in school, so 3 more days can’t hurt. I just wish he was all better already! I don’t regret the decision to take his tonsils out, because he was so sick with strep throat so often, but I hate how hard the recovery has been on him. It’s sad.
Anyway, he’s home and got a ton more work from school to do!
