Uneasiness, tossing and turning,
Suddenly an outburst, howling,
It's midnight and the senses are struggling,
Thoughts fly all over the place, praying.
My two and a half years old daughter suddenly cries out for her sleep, thrashes around and begin these episodes of shivering, goosebumps all over her body, teeth chattering. She'd been fine all day long, although she'd cried a lot while plaiting her hair in the evening, but it's nothing that he mother and myself weren't familiar with. But tonight she scared the **** out of me; my wife, the cool-under-pressur onele, took her from me, wrapped her and held her close while I stumbled all over the place looking for whatnot.

It will be hours later that her condition made a favorable turn and she'd lay in my chest to sleep. THANKS.
