I need a hand to hold.

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.

Breathing on her own is such progress. Great to hear. Continuing to keep you, and her, in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending love to you both

Yay! I’m so glad she’s improving OP, you’re both so strong x

Fantastic news!

That's great news. X

Sending love and strength to you and to your amazing daughter

That’s fantastic news op.
Sending lots of love

Hi @Troublewaters2021 I keep thinking of you and your lovely girl. I imagine you’re probably too busy to be checking in on Mumsnet, but wishing you both luck. Hope the news is better re- the legs, too.

Hoping that your daughter is staging even more of a fightback. Thinking of you in this long journey.

I’m so relieved to see your update op. Thank goodness. I hope your managing to get some sleep now, make sure you are looking after yourself as well

Hope your brave daughter continues to make progress OP, and make sure you take care of yourself, too,

She had the surgery yesterday and is doing well. As well as we can expect. There will be an adjustment period of course but she is alive and stable and we will get to take her home eventually.

I am so sorry that she has needed the surgery, and yet so glad that she will pull through, and you will get to take her home. I wish you ongoing strength for your journey together.

I've kept reading your updates and I'm so sorry she's needed the surgery. Wishing you and your wonderful DD all the very best

Ah I'm also sorry that she ended up needing the surgery - I hope it wasn't too drastic. :(

Many ((((hugs))) for you all.

I'm so sorry you're both going through this. Sending lots of hugs and prayers.

She is such a warrior, this girl! I'm sorry she needed the surgery, but as you say, if this is what it takes to get her well and home, then so be it.

Sending strength to you - what a rollercoaster you've been on.

I’m sorry to hear that the surgery had to go ahead @Troublewaters2021

Tough times ahead, but the two of you sound like you make a fabulous team so I’m sure you’ll face them together xx

Well I can see where your dd gets her bravery from. Sending lots of love and strength to you for the days ahead and hoping you have her home again as soon as possible
