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.

[quote Troublewaters2021]@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[/quote]
She sounds amazing - an absolute fighter and one with rhythm too! I know what it’s like to be on a cardiac ward - but know that they are amongst the most highly trained, specialised medical staff out there. For you the time drags and the thoughts spiral - but for her she is is just asleep x
