In reply to If Traffic Had A Face I Would Punch It. It is so scary. The first time my husband & I were seconds away from bringing her to the hospital. We did not know what was wrong.

In reply to aviets. It is so scary. It is frustrating not being able to help. I sit beside her all clenched up tight just waiting for it to end.

In reply to Janine Huldie. That is all we can do. It is horrifying each and every time. I feel so helpless.

We’ve had one awful night of terrors with our daughter and like you, at the time, had NO CLUE what was going on. She screamed so loudly I thought for sure the neighbors would call the cops. I hope we’ve seen the last of it because my god it was scary…like you said, almost demonic!! yikes!

We went through this for at least a year with our second. Absolutely terrifying as a parent. We found the same thing about just sitting by and letting it play out. Nothing helped, which is a rotten place to be in as a parent who desperately wants to make the bad stuff go away.

I actually had them myself as a kid, but thankfully so far neither of my girls have had one. My dad said though when I did have them it was truly scary and like you said would just try to keep me comfortable but would hope they would pass quickly still each time.
