My DD8 had a heart transplant a few years ago now, she has been struggling this year on and off after a few good years. She has some changes in her cardiac echo however they said they would unlikely get worse they wasn’t really sure on the significance of the findings.
At 5.45 tonight she went in to perri arrest.
They were amazing and everything had happened so fast, she is stabilised in CICU. No one is allowed in apart from me she looks very peaceful, I am waiting for consultants.
I have been on here a while and sending myself crazy looking at the clock with no one to cry to.
It all happened so fast she was playing in the back and then she came through to say she didn’t feel well. Went to get her some paracetamol and when I came back in she was on the floor.

Another handhold here 💐

Rainbowqueeen · 07/03/2021 20:49

Hand hold from me too. How frightening for you.
I’m sure she is getting wonderful care. Look after yourself while you are waiting as she will need you. Drink water , try and eat any food that is offered. Can you organise a charger for your phone??

Oh poor you and your poor dd.

I have absolutely no concept of what your dd has gone through but I am sure she is in the best place.

How old was she when she had the transplant? Did it transform her life? And yours?

Consider your hand gently held. Hope everything works out OK.

Holding your hand. I’ve been in PICU twice with my DD and found mumsnet a good source of support. Remember to eat and drink and try and rest too xxx

Hand hold and a shoulder rub here, you must be shell shocked. Hoping you DD will be ok, she's in exactly the right place Flowers

And a handhold here as well. Breathe carefully and be strong.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 07/03/2021 21:05

(((HUG))) just washed my hands so another hand to hold x

How bloody scary for you.

Are you in the hospital that did her transplant?

Do you have anyone that can bring you stuff in fir an overnight stay? Comfy clothes/food/charger/bottles of water (any meds you take) etc
