Such sudden and unexpected disruption is so unnerving and aggravatin! I'm sorry you're plumbing is giving you the raspberries.
I hope your son feels more comfortable soon, and you do, too. Perhaps if one does, the other will follow...
As hard as it is to deal with, a good thing about plumbing problems like this is that they have a beginning... and an end...
I hope you can find a little bit of adventure during this (could you and the kids write a story about your experiences as they are happening?) as you wait as patiently as you can for the problem to end so you can get back to familiar beds and familiar and predictable routines.
