Toddler in hospital. Need a handhold.

[sobsanta]

DD is 2 and has been ill for about four days with what we presumed to be a heavy cold. She hasn't slept much and today took a turn for the worse where we had to call an ambulance due to her breathing being laboured while sleeping and sucking in under the ribs with every breath. Paramedics think some kind of upper respiratory infection as her chest appears clear. Epiglottitis was mentioned or possibly severe tonsillitis but they didn't want to check her mouth at home in case it panicked her.

DH went to the hospital with her as he's calm and collected and only one parent is allowed due to coronavirus restrictions. She's a daddy's girl anyway so she'll feel safe with him but I'm kicking myself that I can't be with them both. Haven't heard anything yet and they've been gone about an hour.

Am terrified and need distraction as I know there's nothing I can do and she's with the best people.

Message from MNHQ: Please note, very sad update further down the thread

I am so very sorry for your loss. Wyatt looks such a beautiful happy girl. I'll light a candle for her tonight

I’ve just seen your photos - oh wow, what a lovely name and she is absolutely beautiful. She looks like she’s having great fun on the swing.

She looks so cute with her hair in those little ponytails. I bet she made the staff smile when she was wondering around with her mask on, just like them!

Xxxxx

I'm so sorry. Sending you love and strength xxx

I’m so sorry, she is beautiful x

She is so beautiful and vibrant op. Have been thinking about you and your 3 girls x

Wyatt Rose is such a beautiful name. I cannot imagine what you must be going through right now. Why is life so bloody unfair? I'm deeply saddened for you and your family

Thank you for sharing the photos and her name. We'll all think of her often.

I am so, so sorry for the loss of such a vibrant, happy little girl (which is abundantly clear from photos). I have no words but you are in my thoughts xx

What a beautiful little girl, OP.

A beautiful name for a beautiful girl, thank you for sharing her pictures 💕

What a beautiful little girl. I am so so sorry for your loss.

I wasn't expecting that as I read down the thread 😥. She looks just perfect, she was so loved and clearly brought such joy. Heartbreaking. Much love to you ❤️

She existed and she has impacted not only you and your family and friends but also us here on MN and those professionals at the hospital and the ambulance service I can assure you they will remember her and she will have impacted them too. She looks such a delightful little soul- with adorable eyes and she was clearly so loved. Much love to you all...I have no words to make this pain go, sadly.

Oh my god, what an absolute shock. I am so very, very sorry this has happened to your family. Truly tragic. Sending love xx

I do very very sorry. 💐💐

I'm so sorry for your loss, be gentle with yourselves. Wyatt Rose is a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl.

I have no words that will take your pain away but please know that so many strangers are sending you love and thoughts.

Hello, Wyatt Rose. What a lovely name. She looks such a darling child, OP. I can tell she was loved just by how happy she is in those pictures.

She will always be with you. Always. She is a part of you and your family and nothing can change that.

What a beautiful little girl, absolutely adorable. I’m so sorry. Couldn’t stop thinking about her or you and your family yesterday and this morning. Sending you all my love xxxx

We are connected, my child and I,
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord that connects us 'til birth,
This cord can't be seen by any on earth.

This cord does its work right from the start
It binds us together, attached to my heart

I know that it's there, though no one can see
The invisible cord from my child to me

The strength of this cord is hard to describe
It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied

It's stronger than any cord man could create
it withstands the test, can hold any weight.

And though you are gone, and not here with me
The cord is still there, but no one can see.

It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore
But this cord is my lifeline as never before.

I am thankful that God connects us this way
A mother and child, death can't take it away

So sorry for the heartbreaking loss of your beautiful girl 💔

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. Sending thoughts and best wishes for you, DH and your DC

You and your daughter were my first thoughts this morning.

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photos with her and what an amazing name.

Just so heartbreaking.

🕯

Oh dear, dear OP. My heart breaks for you. She was beautiful! I am sure you feel you cannot carry on. I wish you many happy memories of your lovely daughter xx

Beautiful Wyatt, you are imprinted on our hearts forever. We share your grief, we are beyond devestated. We have known you since before you were born, and we will remember you for all of our days. We are all here for you @sobsanta #September18

Your daughter is beautiful, what a wonderful smile.

I'm so sorry, it is so incredibly cruel and unfair that she has been taken from you. It shouldn't have happened.
