Exercise

She exercised with the 5 lb weight in a serious manner for the first time today. We seem to hav made progress, as she did dumbbell curls for the first time in her life with this much weight.

I also made her do rapid breathing. She managed 15 quick exhalations, and then about 35.

Sleeping Pill

Did not take any pills this night. She slept for 3 hours. Earlier today, we gave her a jelly bean to suck on, and some ice cream. Some sugar made a difference and gave her energy. She went to bed at 9:30p for a nap.

Sleeping Pill

She tried to take the pill right before bed again. This time, she slept for only 2 hours. She had a panic attack while in the washroom.

New Sleeping Pill Routine

Now we will leave the pills upstairs, for her to take as soon as she is in bed.

This time, she slept about 5 hours.
