I need a hand to hold.

[Troublewaters2021]

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.

Handhold and gentle virtual hugs for you and yours.

Tell us about her OP. You can share what led her to have a transplant if you want. You could share what’s she likes and what she doesn’t. What makes her laugh, what makes her tick. Might while away some minutes and stop you thinking about other things

for you and your lovely girl.

Oh that's so awful. A gentle handhold and sending all my love and wishes for a positive outcome

That must be terrifying OP. I'm sorry you are going through this.

As others have said, she is in the right place - they know what to do and they will be giving her the best chance of a good outcome. You are doing your job - being her mum - brilliantly. You are present, you are advocating for her and that is exactly where you should be.

Wishing you and your DD a quick turnaround and full recovery.

I wish I could sit next to you and just put my arm round you.

Her medical team know what they are doing and she’s in the safest place.

Take care of yourself.

Oh my goodness, sending a hug and a hand x

Handhold here op

@MovedByFanciesThatAreCurled she is the most amazing child ! I know she is mine so I am slightly bias.
She went in to heart failure due to a form of cardiomyopathy.
She was in hospital a very long time and also suffered a stroke.
She loves music, she plays guitar and drums.
I have seen her sick previously even after the transplant but she has not been this bad since. I think it’s making me nervous that everything will be undone and we will back to square 1

sending you strength

Thinking of you both x

Handhold

Hugs Xx

Oh op,how frightening. She's in the best place and you're strong. Just remember, you've gone through worse and she's come through worse before

Another handhold from me and I am thinking of you both

Oh god OP big hug

Stay positive op! A huge hand hold for you. Keep talking if you need too, We're all hear to listen and support. Wishing your dd a very speedy recovery. She's in the best possible place.

Hand hold here

That must be so scary for you

Holding your hand here.

OMG, how scary that must have been. Sending lots of love and hugs

Hand hold here too, lots of love xx

I hope she’s better soon. Can imagine it was terrifying for you and you are possibly in a bit of shock. Hope you manage to get some rest, make sure you look after yourself.

Hand hold and very gentle Covid-friendly hugs. I've been in a similar position to your DD when I was a child and having my parents nearby was the most comforting thing

Sending you love and strength. In December 2019 my son was in hospital slipping away from us, he couldnt even sit up without help and I remember the day when I had to beg him to keep fighting. He got better, looking at him now you would never know what he has been though. It is possible, hold on to that thought.
