3 year old boy has NEVER slept!
Ok, and I thought I had it rough with sleeping issues. This has to be one of the most unbelievable and sad stories I’ve ever heard. I honestly just can’t imagine. I don’t understand how a person can function with zero sleep. I would love to hear more on this story, but there aren’t many details out right now.
A St. Petersburg, FL TV station reports on a family with a 3-year-old boy who has a rare medical condition, called chiari malformation that puts pressure on the brain and that prevents him from sleeping. His parents must watch him around the clock, taking turns to sleep during the day.
Rhett has never taken a nap or gone to sleep at night, forcing his parents to keep watch day and night.
“(My husband) has the day shift and I kind of have the afternoon shift,” mother Shannon Lamb said. “We share the night shift because no one can sleep in the house when he is up anyway.”
Lamb said she is working extra to pay for Rhett’s large medical bills. She also said her husband, David, has given up his job to care for their child.
they didn't mention anything about not being able to sleep, but then again the episode was from October 2007, so they could have mentioned it, and i just don't remember.
but I don't think I will be complaining about not getting any sleep at night anymore!
