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.

Yet another hand to hold.

Is there anything you'd like to talk about for distraction?

They are treating her for endocarditis and sepsis. She is stable but machines doing most of the work for her. They have on meds for blood pressure and started a high cause of antibiotics.

Remember to eat and drink (and breathe), OP. Look after yourself and then you'll be best able to look after her. Flowers
