I’m a little bit freaked out. DD (aged 3) is unwell. Sickness bug at the start of the week, now a bad cough and temp 😢
She has woken about 7 times already this evening but the last time when I went in, she was really distressed. She wasn’t acknowledging me or answering me but was periodically acting like she’d seen something scary and screaming. I couldn’t reassure her as it was like she wasn’t aware of my presence.
Then, all of a sudden she looked at me and stared really confused, then started crying and saying “mummy why are you tiny?” I asked her if she could see me and she said yes but then got extremely distressed and kept asking why I was so small. She could completely communicate with me at this point and answer questions but was so distressed. I’m assuming she mustn’t have been fully awake and somehow her vision was temporarily distorted. She has fallen back asleep. I think I’m just possibly overly concerned about her because she is ill at the moment. Does this sound as though it’s just a night terror? Thanks.
