medication mistake

Wed nights are always so late because we have scouts/activity days at the church. We don't get home until 8:30 and then have to start bedtime. I went to give Calvin his pills around 845 or 9 and sent him off to bed. A little after 10 Dave went in and Calvin was still awake which is extremely unsual. He asked if I had given Calvin his pills which I had. Dave was paged and had some other things to do and then at 11 Calvin was still awake. Even more extremely unusual.  Dave asked, are you sure you didn't give Calvin his morning meds instead of evening meds? I jumped up to check and sure enough I had given him morning meds, which included a strong stimulant. Poor Calvin, no wonder he couldn't sleep. He was so patient and sweet about it too, just laying in bed, wide awake and talking sweetly to us when we came in repeatedly to see if he was okay. I gave Calvin the evening pills he needed which weren't repeated in the morning dose I had given him and then we tried going to bed. About midnight he got up for a bowl of cereal and then went right to sleep after that. Amazingly enough he still got up and got on the bus today.  As difficult as Calvin is much of the time, little experiences like this remind me of how patient he really is. He goes through a lot and even though he has many tumultuous moments he is a precious and sweet soul.
