I didn't realize how much traveling would screw up Matthew's schedule. We were pretty routine before vacation...Therapy on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, misc appointment Friday and errands on Monday. We were up by a certain time, we KINDA nap around the same time and I am really diligent on giving his meds at exactly the same time (even though the doctor said I don't have to be). Arizona is only an hour behind Pensacola time. I thought it would be easy. I didn't feel like I needed to have Matt on AZ time, I'd just do everything an hour early.
That didn't really work. We'd be out late with friends, Matt wouldn't be tired until 11 PM Arizona time...That's MIDNIGHT Pensacola time. I don't know what was going on with him :)
Party boy, I guess. He'd sleep until 900 Arizona time (10 AM FL time!) and he'd only wake up because we would wake him for his three morning meds (usually I give one at 7, one at 8 and one at 10). Nope, in AZ he got them all at once.
I tried to give his meds at the same time, but not even close. I'd give them within 3 hours of when I usually gave them....and I'm usually not more than 10 minutes off. The good thing is, he's starting a new thing once we got home...going to bed in the 900 PM range. He's kinda been a night owl due to his medications, but it since we got home, he's been doing better.
The downside of him going to bed at 9? He's up by 630. Oh well.
He still wakes up once a night to kick and coo. It lasts about 20 minutes these days. It's better than him screaming, so I'll take it. He's still occasionally gagging and throwing up a bit. It's better. We have his one year check up in a week.

I cannot believe he's coming up on his 1 year! What are they saying these days about the throwing up, anyway? And hey, the fact that you gave him all his medications daily on vacation deserves some kudos.
