 Hyperventilation???
We had a storm go thru last night, beginning right after dinner. Tia has always been afraid of thunder and fire crackers. She will run to me and try to climb to my head. She has also become very frightened of brooms, but that is another story. Okay, last night she became so panicked that I wish I had something to give her to calm her down. She was running from my lap to dh's lap. She couldn't sit still, nor did she want to. She was breathing so fast that I thought she would hyperventilate. I tried to give her things to take her mind off the thunder, but she could not concentrate on anything else. Finally, I wrapped her in a blanket and held her, not letting her run frightened all over the room. Did I do the right thing? How do I change this so she does not harm herself? What do I do?????? (She just turned one year Sunday.) |
