KENNDALS NIGHT TIME ROUTINE

[@juliemachin737]

Precious little girl loves being in Mama's comforting arms. You truly are an amazing Mama. You got this. ♥️

[@SeaGreeneArt]

Youre such an amazing woman, mother, and wife. 💞 in case no ones told you yet today, youre incredible.

[@katierowen3166]

I have been trying to organize my many thoughts after watching this video into something coherent but I think the best way is just to make a list: 1. Please do not apologize for your appearance. You are beautiful and I LOVE how real your videos are and that you're not wearing 5 pounds of makeup like some other people I can think of do (even when they're pretending to wake-up). 2. Another thing I can tell is real and not fake is the love you and Karlos have for each other. I love the way you two are so thoughtful to each other and support each other. 3. You have the most wonderful positive attitude. I know it can't be easy going through a major home renovation but you're plowing through with a smile on your face and making the necessary adjustments. And finally: 4. I can't adequately put into words just how much of an amazing mom you are to Kenndal. I know how utterly exhausted and maybe even a little frustrated, not with Kenndal but the situation, you must be but the main thing I focus on is how much you love that beautiful baby girl and just want the absolute best for her. I wish there was something I could do for you but just please know your family is in my thoughts and prayers every day. .

Grinding of teeth is normal at that age so dont worry. I know what its like to not sleep, my youngest stopped breathing as a newborn. He was diagnosed with GERD and had seizure like activity. I had to sleep sitting up with him propped up over my shoulder so he would stay upright, not laying down, not in a sitting position, just upright with no pressure on his tummy. When my anxiety actually allowed me to sleep, I would constantly wake up scared that it would happen again. Until he was 8 months old, I slept like that, sitting up. I was a single mom, who worked full time and also had an elementary aged son. I dont know how I survived but somehow we get through! Mommas are strong!

Wow that is the true definition of a mother. The little guy has an amazing mom!

I am so glad I found your channel. It came at the right time, I was so close to never using youtube again. It's has become filled with people portraying unrealistic lifestyles and picture perfect families that have no depth. Your channel (and some others I have found recently) have opened my eyes that it is important to give a platform for those who live normal yet rare lives that are easily overlooked because they're not flashy. You're a loving beautiful family with so much joy!!! I hope your platform grows so you can use it to bring better awareness and research to your daughter's condition.

[@SH-kz6nm]

Amen to that! ☺️

[@SuperPauline4]

I totally agree with you!

[@anneosullivan5160]

Excellent comment. I felt same way

[@ella-bt8hp]

How true is that, it's sad because even these picture perfect families will say you only see a snap shot of our lives, were far from being perfect (Catherine from the ace family that said that) but still of course we all compare ourselves which is sad. We should love ourselves for our differences not all strive to be the same. I love this realistic family routine for me it's realistic being a pareof a disabled child myself and at a young age. Also I really didn't have anyone to turn to so I know for a fact these videos will really help some mummas out there who may be struggling. 💓

[@kellyhart831]

One day at a time momma! My special needs son will be 12 in a few months. Watching this video brought back memories of those early years...beautiful struggles, that's how I can describe those first few years. HIS grace is sufficient and life is just a series of victories in the making! Your baby girl is so precious!

[@thatswhattomorrowisfor3745]

She is BEAUTIFUL, I whole haeatedly agree. My son is 17 right now, we adopted him when he was 17 months, he was the size and function as a typical 5-6 month old. I so remeber those early days when it was all so new and diagnoses were coming to us in all directions. We look back now ane wonder how we did it and we ,as you, know it was our faith that got us where we are. My "mantra", was a constant stream of "Thy will be done" whenever we headed into surgery or a new Doctor. Your family is in our prayers and hugs to your Princess👸

[@supersonicman8397]

Hey :) Love your content!! Hello from Iowa!

[@elisepaulucci1236]

Not to overstep, but if you find she sleeps better on you/by you, you should try "sidecar" ing a single bed or double to her crib. This way ypu can keep her safe by keeping her in her own sleep space but you can lay beside her and still cuddle her, rub her back etc. My son went through a phase where he wouldn't sleep and this was the only way either of us slept. My husband needs to be up early for work too and we found this worked well, I always found thr baby transfer back to his crib always woke him up! This way i just rolled away. But anyways, much love mama, you are doing such an amazing job. Both of you are, you can see how loved your daughter is

[@janetjones1952]

You are an amazing Mum with a hard working husband. Your Daughter is beautiful. You are such a good example to young parents. Sending my love to you both. Xx❤️

[@aleshaclaywell3699]

You're a great mother. I dont see how you do everything with so little sleep. She's adorable. 😊❤

[@Xessa82]

I don't know if you realize just how amazing you are. I have 3 kids.. 16 yr old, almost 13 yr old and a 5 yr old and all My kids slept amazing and were happy babies. My oldest was the only one that gave me any issues with sleep and his first few months he would just cry if I didn't constantly hold him. It was nothing like what you go through with Kendall though. My middle child slept all night long from birth and was such an easy baby to care for. My youngest slept pretty good as a baby but he did wake up here and there. Eventually though he pretty much stopped getting up during the night. Even though he's 5, you wouldn't be able to tell because he has severe autism (stage 3) and is completely non verbal. He doesn't say a single word and really never has. He just makes a handful of noises. He also is really behind other kids his age. Some things he does you would think he's older but then other things he's like a toddler. He really only communicates by pointing at things, taking you to what he wants and by crying, making mad noises, and smiling/laughing. He doesn't really show any other emotions like we've never seen him sad before which is kinda nice. Many autistic kids don't sleep well and the doctor that did his autism screening said we were actually extremely lucky with how he is. He loves his sleep and for yrs he slept 12 hrs a night. He'd go to bed between 8 and 9 and wake between 8 and 9 in the morning. The last few months though, mainly since everything shit down due to covid, he started going to bed later. He now is going to sleep usually between 10 and 10:30 and wakes up about 8am so he's still sleeping awesome! He's also an extremely happy child and doesn't get angry much and doesn't have many tantrums. We're definitely aware that we got very lucky. Seeing how well you do with Kendall especially when she won't stop crying amazing. Most people would find that situation super tough and even the most patient people would have trouble coping with her constant crying. I'm sure you get frustrated and stressed out but you don't show it. You one special mama and she is so lucky to have someone like you in her corner!

You might try the Wubbanub pacifiers that have a pacifier attached to a small stuffed animal. At least with the stuffed animal attached, it'll be easier to help it stay in her mouth and you can keep it propped on your chest. That's the only pacifier my son will take and he loves it.

[@dynamicallydittman]

I mentioned the same thing before seeing your comment! My son has a bilateral cleft lip and palate, so he has a hard time keeping a binky in his mouth on his own. The Wubbanubs work great!

[@doviddardick7541]

My son is about 21 months and he has schizencephaly to I wish we would be able to meet but I do not live in the United States, they have so many similarities , my son does sleep during the night since we started giving him phenobarbital and keppra for seizures ,for the spit what he has coming out of his mouth we have these little tiny Band-Aids or I call it stickers what he wears behind his ears it's called scopolamine and it helps to dry up all the spit so he shouldn't choke on it , I love watching your videos it helps me so much knowing that there's someone else that is going through the same things we are.

Have you tried using a Wubbanub to hold her binky in her mouth? My son has cleft lip and palate so he has a hard time keeping his pacifier in his mouth on his own. We have the the one from the brand Phillips, and it’s a cute little giraffe. Maybe you could try something like that while she’s teething? Also, I love your channel! ☺️💕

[@vicktv33]

My son has the elephant and penguin from Wubbanub. His favorite is the elephant and the long trunk seems to help keep it in his mouth if he is laying down for a nap. Hopefully she will see our comment and try to get one for Kenndal :)

[@aliciaemery3342]

You don't want anything to force the pacifier to stay in her mouth, a weighted thing like that may be okay, but since she's special needs I would not risk it

[@dynamicallydittman]

Alicia Emery The Wubbanubs do not really “force” the pacifier into the babies mouth; they help hold it in the right position for them to keep it in their mouth on their own if they don’t have the best suction. It’s still completely up to the baby as to whether or not they actually take the pacifier.

[@LTilli313]

You are so strong, i can't imagine not getting any sleep and then also worrying about your daughter not being able to get any rest 😔💗 Have her doctors ever prescribed her CLONIDINE for sleep? My friend's daughter is ADD and has to be on stimulants; a side effect of stumulants is insomnia. They gave her CLONIDINE and it's the only thing that works! It's not a sleeping pill or anything, but it somehow helps with sleep. I'm not a doctor and don't know if it would be an option for her, but i just figured i would suggest it so you could run it by her doctors and see if it might be an option. You never know .... in the meantime, i pray that baby girl gets better with her sleep 😇
