Oh I feel so bad for you. I'm sorry I have no advice, I have no small children but I do have grandchildren and mine do not bark and go crazy. They do try to hide because they aren't used to them. They live 2 hours away. I'm sure someone will have good advice for ya. I would just say don't get too upset just yet.
I hope everything works out just fine for you, and your family including your Pixie.
