M., just my two cents, but i have a very sensitive little two year old boy who i think would be terrified to be in the hospital having any kind of surgery. if it was my son i would be convinced it was nightmares too. regardless of whether it's a behavior issue or actual nightmares, though, i would try to give him some more time. he may still remember being in the hospital and not want to be alone yet. i understand the need to get better sleep on your part, though! maybe try coming to his room less and less often when he's restless, slowly getting him used to you not running to his side. just a suggestion, i hope he lets you get some sleep soon!
