Remember the heartbreaking story about the boy who couldn't sleep? Doctors have finally diagnosed him with chiari malformation. "His body would give out but his mind wouldn't; he'd still be awake," said Rhett's mom, Shannon Lamb. "He'd still be alert. It was extremely scary."One of the side effects of Rhett's lack of sleep was bad behavior.
"He was in a bad mood all the time," Lamb said. "He couldn't play, he didn't interact with other children. His frustration level was so high, and it just kept getting worse and worse and worse. He couldn't communicate with anyone. It was heartbreaking. He would hit you, he would bite you, he would head butt you and anything else around him, and you didn't know from one minute to the next what was going to happen," she said. Little Rhett has undergone the risky surgery and is doing better now.

This is the same thing my little Lissa suffers from. She's had the brain surgery three times. If your toddler is difficult to the point of exasperation, it might not be the terrible twos. These poor kids can't sleep, can't communicate it and throw hissy fits of unimaginable violence. It aint bad behavior, people..they need medical help.

I don't know you but you must be one strong lady to handle all you have been dealt. God bless and take care of that baby as you always do.
Thanks..I still have a lot to be greatful for.
Poor things! I can't imagine what the poor children must go through..the parents as well. Did Liss have the sleep issue as well or is that only in some cases? God Bless
She had it all. She still has some trouble getting to sleep and she takes a lot of patience. She's doing well though. :)
I admire you. Really.
