night terror

oh boy....what a rough 4 nights it has been for us. this sweet little guy had a high fever friday afternoon and broke through the next day. i should have know something was wrong when he refused ice cream. he NEVER refuses ice cream!
so that night, he popped himself up from bed, screaming! he got up & told us he doesn't want anyone to touch or hold him. he seemed to be alert but 'not'. he was also running away from us! scary in the middle of the night. he finally calmed down after about 15 minutes.
it looked like he was trying to throw up but was afraid to. we thought that's why he told us his tummy hurts and was holding his mouth closed AND running away from us.
repeat this for saturday, sunday, and monday. all the same but getting increasingly violent with each episode but the duration is shortening. he would bang on the walls, hit anything he came near to and told us to 'don't touch me', 'go away', 'i don't want you'......all while screaming from the top of his lungs. we were afraid someone might call the cops on us!
when this happens, he is not the sweet little bry bry we all know. he seems as if he's possessed! an out of body experience. like sleepwalking. when he snaps out of it, he has no idea what just happened and comes to snuggle with us. it toally wipes him out---he's so tired the next day. we are too!
after talking to several moms about this, i came to the conclusion that it is night terrors he is going through. not sure when it will end [soon i hope]. but very interesting if you want to read about it.
if your little one has experienced this, please let me know. what you think might have cause it, how did it go away, if anything help stop it.
i'm getting ready for my 1st card class here that i am teaching. here's a few more lawn fawn card examples for the store i brought in.








have a great day.....wish me a good night's rest! ;)
