On thursday i was a wee bit worried about alana she was off her feed (slept from 10pm wed night to 8am then only took an 0z) she was a wee bit croaky and was very sleepy. i phoned the hv and she said to take her to the docs. he checked her over and said her chest was clear and wasnt dehydrated so was to keep an eye on her and if i was worried i was to take her up to a-doc later that night.

we went home and she was just lying on her changing mat and when i looked up she had stopped breathing and was turning blue. i pannicked and picked her up and hit her back a few times thinking she had choked on sick or something but she still wasnt breathing. she was panicking and eventually started to breathe again. i (stupidly) phoned my mum in a state not knowing what to do and she had to phone the hosp for me cos i was too upset. an ambulance came and got us and took us up to the hospital where they had her on a monitor for a while. we got moved up to the ward on thurs night and thats us just home. they did lots of blood tests and a lumber puncture (sp) which all came back clear so we are left not knowing what it was that caused it.

she has an appointment with the heart specalist on tuesday as she has a wee heart problem and they want to rule out that. i feel so helpless and scared that its gonna happen again when im at home or in bed and i dont notice.

star what an awful and terrifying experience, when ym dd was diagnosed with her heart condition, our HV offered an angelcare mat monitor to us - perhaps this is available in your area too?
Take care and hugs hope alana is ok xxxxxx

been told not to worry and it was prob just 1 of these things they think it might be a small infection but its cleared up now anyway which is good. The heart doc says she still has a murmur and says its a wee hole which should close in time got to take her back in feb so he can check its all going well
