What I thought was particularly cruel is how Moo has only ever had a seizure when he has been sleeping. <BR/>I'm with you Kathryn, I'm can't trust sleep and on those nights it gets too much, either there is 3 in our bed or I'm camping in Moo's bed with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31461418.post-87117016680775689892008-12-04T15:15:00.000-05:002008-12-04T15:15:00.000-05:00I do understand how you feel. Our little preemie ...I do understand how you feel. Our little preemie daughter was stolen away quite unexpectedly from us in the middle of the night, and after our youngest came home, for months I would wake up at the exact minute the call came from the hospital nursing supervisor, heart pounding, I couldn't even let him sleep in his own crib for months --- he slept in my arms, and I woke up over and over again to make sure he was still breathing.<BR/><BR/>I did get treatment for PTSD. My husband still wakes up and checks on both kids.<BR/><BR/>saraiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31461418.post-39028408462732137912008-12-03T22:37:00.000-05:002008-12-03T22:37:00.000-05:00Oh, this made me cry.

I was so scared he would have a seizure again (he had them at birth) or stop breathing. Then, at 2, he had a horrible seizure that we caught only because he was sleeping with us. He's on medication now, so I don't worry about him as much. Oh, and he's still sleeping with me (I did a whole post on the family bed once). I think, when you have a kid with special needs, there really is such post-traumatic stress syndrome to deal with, you are not wrong. We've been through the worst trauma of our lives. Anyway, Ellie sleeping by herself is still a new thing, I think it just takes adjusting to, give yourself time.Ellen Seidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433429847255621203noreply@blogger.com
