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. Adding a stranger's tears to your own.

I am so so sorry for the loss of your beautiful little girl. This is just dreadful.

I have been thinking of you, your family and beautiful little Wyatt Rose since you posted your update.

I cannot imagine your pain you are all going through. I am so so sorry for your loss. You can see from the pictures how happy and loved she was. Take care and look after yourself. So much love sent to you all

Wyatt was such a beautiful darling. When you and DH are feeling a little stronger, please PM me as I know someone who’s little one (aged 2) died 6 months ago and I think you will love his Instagram posts about this, especially your DH, in coping with loss as a father. In the meantime, my prayers are being said for you, Wyatt, you DH and your DDs. Xxxx

Thank you for posting photos of Wyatt Rose. She is so cute. Please post more photos if it helps you. We're all thinking about you and your DH x

She's so stunning and I'm so glad we have a name and a face to remember her by. Stay with us op, we've got you xx

I am so very sorry for your lost, Op.

Oh OP I am so, so, so sorry. What a beautiful little girl and how cruel to lose her so young. People are thinking about her, please post here if it helps you and also please reach out to people and professionals in real life. Also for your other children as they must be grieving badly too. I am so sorry.

I am so so very sorry for your devastating loss xxx

We're so very sorry for your loss, @sobsanta. Deepest condolences from all at MNHQ.

I’ve been following your post and I just want to say I am so sorry for your loss. Your daughter is absolutely beautiful. I’ve been thinking about you since I first saw your post last night. I have a little girl similar in age and cannot imagine what you must be going through. Life is so cruel I’m so sorry this has happened.

What a munchkin - absolutely gorgeous and so happy looking.

I can't even imagine.

God bless you all.

Oh my goodness, this is so awful I am really genuinely so sorry for you- how utterly shit. I have a son who is 2 and I cannot imagine your pain right now. Wyatt Rose is gorgeous, look at those beautiful eyes! Just from the way you write about her I can tell that she was so very loved. She must have had the very best few years of life with so much love surrounding her!

I really hope that the dark days don't last too long. There are tonnes of people on here who are happy to listen to you if you ever need to talk/complain about the world. I don't know you personally, but you will be in my thoughts

I read your post at the very start and just noticed the update and read through everything.

I am so so sorry and utterly devasted for you @sobsanta. Words completely fail me. Such a beautiful little girl your Wyatt Rose is

I have a toddler a few months younger and I can't even begin to imagine the pain you must be feeling right now. Sending you love and strength for the days ahead x

I am so so sorry, beyond words and I am heartbroken for you.

Sorry sobsanta, that was most definitely not meant to be gin at the end of my post! Sending many hugs

Wyatt Rose was a beautiful little girl. We are all thinking of you today and forever 💓

I'm so sorry for your update, its every parents nightmare, she was a beautiful child and my thoughts are with you. There are just no words really.

I am shocked to read your update. I am so sorry for your loss. Life is so very cruel. My thoughts are with you and your family. Your beautiful Wyatt was clearly full of fun and is deeply loved. Sending you love and strength to hold you through this desperately sad time.

I'm so sorry to read your devastating news. I can't begin to imagine your pain x

I'm so sorry to hear about your beautiful Wyatt. What a heart break this is. I'm a praying sort so praying for strength for you as you both grieve and support your husband and other children. May all the wonderful memories you have help you through this shocking tragedy

No words to describe this I feel for you so much. The pain and heartache must be crushing you. Since reading your thread and then the update I have had your gorgeous little girl in my thoughts.
Sending love to you and your family 💕
