I have posted before re my dd who is now 4 months. Since she was born her left hand has always went a blueish colour, when she was 6 weeks old her left hand and arm up to her elbow went black, she was admitted to hospital and had a heart scan which showed up no abnormality so was put down to immaturity in system.
The discolouring seemed to calm down a bit for around 6 weeks, but the last week it has been terrible again. It is no longer just her hand her left foot changes colour and more worryingly on saturday her whole body was kind of a grey colour. The last 3 mornings when she has got up her feet have been white, you press her foot and it doesnt change colour because it is that white. Today her left hand and arm has been blue all day and her hands have been freezing, she has now pinked up again.
I took her to the gp last week who said it cant be immaturity now so has referred her to a bigger hospital, it was our small hospital that discharged her saying it was an immature system, my gp has said that there is no way the blackness could be an immature system.
I have photos on my phone showing all these colour changes and the gp said they were horrifying. So we have an appt in 3 weeks at the bigger hospital but i am concerned as her arm and hand was the blue colour for around 4 hours today, with hindsight i should have taken her to a and e but would have had to take her to our small hospital who discharged her in the first place. I am now sat looking through the pictures and i am reaaly confused what this could be or where do i go from here
