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.

How is she today, Troubledwaters? is she still improving?

I hope things are still moving in the right direction x

Troublewaters2021 · 12/03/2021 22:17

She is doing very well ( apart from legs) but she is very stable and they bought her around. She is still a bit out of it and very unsettled but observations etc are much improved and she is breathing on her own.

Get some sleep tonight, Troublewaters2021, and I hope there will be even more improvement in the morning. I'm only snuffing the candle here when I am in bed and can't keep an eye on it.
