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.

Well done for getting her into the hospital so quickly. I'm sure she's being given the best treatment and I'm going to pray for her to recover very quickly. Try to rest when you can. Flowers

Oh OP how frightening Flowers
Are you staying the night with her? I hope you have had something to eat and drink. She is in the best place.
