My Son's Sleep Problem Sent Him To The Hospital
by Danielle
(Queens )
My 7 year old son talks, screams, and sits up in his sleep. Last week in the middle of the night he fell into the wood frame on his bed and was rushed to the hospital. His teeth were so impacted they had to do surgery to pull them down, one tooth was shattered and they had to pull fragments out of his gums. He got many stitches to his lip, and he broke the bone that holds the teeth in place.
All of this from just sleeping the way he does. I am so worried something like this will happen again. How can i help him sleep more peaceful and make sure this will never happen again? I already took his bed apart and put his mattress on the floor so he wouldn't have such a high fall. Any suggestions?
