Oliver is really scaring me at the moment. First with this peanut reaction, and now with this.
The last two days or so, when he is tired and say he gets hold of something he isn't allowed, and we take it off him. Well, he will really realy cry hysterically. But he wont actually cry, he'll try to cry but can't get his breath. He'll be led there with his mouth wide open trying to scream but not, his face goes blue, all round his tongue and his mouth is blue. He'll be shaking his head from side to side, but just not breathing. Eventually, after what seems like forever, (probably about 30 seconds), he takes a little breath and that seems to break the 'trance' and he'll be crying really bad but breathing.
Then after a few breaths he'll stop screaming and it's like he's totally not with it. Just earlier when he did it he just lay in my arms with his eyes half shut but he just was not there behind them. I can't explain it, his eyes were glazed over. Almost like he was asleep.
After another 30 seconds or so he'll kind of come round, but will be really clingy and still not 100% himself.
Why is he doing this. The time while he is screaming and holding his breath is horrible. I don't think he is physically holding his breath himself, he just is so upset that he just cannot take a breath. It's horrible, it scares me and there is nothing i can do until he decides to breathe again. He's done it about 4 times in the last couple of days.
What can I do?
