Christy,

Heather also started twitching in her sleep. The doctor felt she was having focal seizures. I don't know much about them and I'm sure there could be other reasons for twitching, too. But I would certainly question the doc about focal seizures. Even the nurses could probably give you an idea of what might cause twitching. I sometimes found the nurses to be just as knowledgable and usually much more approachable than the doctors.

Hang in there, wink
