A mama I know has a four year old boy who has done this twice, so far. He wakes up, or rather seems to be awake, and is shaking, screaming, and actually responding to his parent's asking questions in the middle of it all. He is frightened and hallucinating. One doc told her it could be seizures and another blew it off as night terrors. Any mamas have experience with either one of these things?
