fleaBecause Dillo just scared the shit out of us, by freaking out at being put in his highchair, stopping breathing and turning blue. Since there was some frozen corn on the tray we were briefly concerned he was choking, but there wasn't really time for him to have picked any up.
It sounds like a breath holding spell (http://www.drgreene.com/21_557.html) and I sure hope this does not become a habit. Even when I can tell myself that if he passes out cold he'll automatically start breathing, and even if he has a seizure it's fine, I do not have any actual desire to see my son pass out or have a seizure. To the anemia test, away!
Having looked up night terrors also (it's a fine day with Doctor Google) I was interested to see that they tend to follow a fever in children and/or occur when the child is overtired - both of which were the case with Casper last night.
