I'm getting ready to go back to bed and see if I can get some sleep. I have a feeling I'm going to be up again. Gabriel has been up a couple of times. The first time he fell asleep then started whining a little then started crying and calling for Mommy and Daddy. We were able to get him settled down but about an hour later he woke up screaming, kicking, arching his back, very dramatic stuff. It took a while longer to get him to calm down and go back to sleep. He's sleeping now, thank goodness.
Of course I read the possible side effects on the material from the pharmacy but nothing would have prepared me for this. I did some internet reading (yes, I know that's not always the best thing to do) and many people posted about similar things happening with their children. I'll be checking with the doctor but in my NON-EXPERT opinion he could be experiencing nausea or stomach cramping as a side effect and that could cause him to wake up due to discomfort/pain. At this point I don't think it's actually causing night terrors. One of his teachers mentioned that he wasn't himself today. That he was whiny and not interested in going outside. If you know our son, you know that is TOTALLY out character for him.Obviously we'll keep a close eye on him and keep you posted.
I'm going to try to get some sleep and I can't do that in front of the computer.
