I am not sure if this is what DS is experiencing but from what I have read it sure sounds like it. On Thursday night and again Saturday night DS woke up screaming uncontrollably, his eyes were open but he was "just not there". He was kicking and throwing his arms around and was breathing really hard. I was so afraid that he was going to hurt himself! He didn't even seem to know who I was or know who DH was. He was even hitting me in the face : (
Both instances lasted about 5-15 minutes and finally it was like he snapped and he came to. He got his blankie and said night night and started to head down the hall to his room (we had brought him out into the living room). Does anyone have any experience dealing with this? Does it sound like night terrors? I have been working a lot of hours and he is having a very hard time adjusting to me not being home as much (even though his dad is there with him), I am beginning to wonder if he is stressed because I am not home as much and that is why this is happening. Is this something that I should take him to the doctors about (he was just there Friday morning for a cold and she said "oh he just had a nightmare")?
TIA for any input anyone can give me!
