My son, nine, has agonising night terrors – he screams for hours & vomits so much the capillaries around his eyes burst
Apr 22, 2021
WITH a loud scream, baby Hudson began to violently thrash around his cot, his face contorted in pain.
His mum Nicki, who appeared on the Australian show Insight on SBS, raced into the room, concerned that something was seriously wrong with her then-three-month-old son.
She picked him up, desperately trying to console him, which only seemed to make it worse.
“It was awful - my husband and I had absolutely no idea what it was,” the Adelaide mum-of-two told Kidspot .
“We honestly thought it could be reflux, colic or something causing him serious pain - he just seemed so distressed.”
These mysterious night-time attacks continued for months, with Nicki only learning the truth when they finally asked their doctor what was happening.
The GP explained that Hudson was experiencing night terrors – episodes of intense screaming, fear and movement while asleep.
He reassured the concerned parents that the terrors were often experienced by young children – and that Hudson would likely grow out of them as he got older.
Little did they know that Hudson would still be experiencing night terrors, nine very long years later.
“We trusted that he’d grow out of them but, each year they just continued,” Nicki explained
The vomit would end up everywhere. It would be so incredibly forceful that the capillaries would bust all around his eyes. Nicki
