Q: Would You Know Why My Child Is Awaking At Night Like This???

Hi! My daughter is 7 and she had her tonsils and adenoids removed 2 weeks ago. She was taking hydrocodone (Loratab) for pain. She has been off the meds for about 4 days. Since her surgery she has been waking up at night, squrming around, crying, almost as if something might be bothering her emotionally. I can sense some anxiety. But its like she isn't fully aware of what is going on. Her legs, arms, are squrming around consistently until I can calm her to fall asleep. Her crying isn't like she in fear of a bad dream, its like she is upset because she can't sleep. She has been waking up anywhere from 2-5 times a night. She has never had any sleeping problems before and this has just started to occur since surgery. They say, you should sleep better after having this surgery???

Please, if anyone has ever experienced this or who has a child with these problems, let me know your opinon.

Thanks!
