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 terrifying for you.Sepsis is awful and so often undetected until too late so you've done really well. I remember my dh having sepsis and how finely they tuned and altered the medication.It is quite miraculous. Your daughter is so lucky to have you and I wish her an excellent recovery.

I have just checked in on you and am so sad to read that your little one needed this surgery. Of course I'm thrilled that she's still with us, but know that she has a monumental adjustment period ahead of her and so do you. I imagine that you have a lot of work ahead of you to make your home suitable as well. My heart goes out to you and your family. Wishing you strength and a happy, healthy future.

I'm so sorry your lovely dd had to have life-changing surgery, but I'm sure you and the rest of her family will help her through it. All the very best to you both. I hope your dd recovers quickly. 💐 and big hugs to you too - you sound so brave and strong.
