Some of you may have seen the thread in health about my 6 yr old dd who collapsed with a quite severe episode of tachycardia on sunday. She is home and still well, but now I have got over the initial shock of having a little one with a potential health problem, I am wondering how do I go about what I tell her. She will be staying off school ect this week but is already questioning this as she feels fine and full of beans so is getting bored!
Am I meant to tell her that she may have a little heart problem or do I just let her get on with it and explain if I really have to (eg if she has to go in to hosp again)?
I know it may seem obvious to those of you who are experienced in these things, but as someone who has never prepared for something like this, I just am drawing blank
