Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi everyone Not content with trying to prevent us from going to Miami by running full speed into our shed Jesscia decided we would spend the bank holiday weekend at hospital. Just about to leave for a party this afternoon fell to the floor, threw up and went unconscious. She came round briefly to throw up again but went completely limp and her lips started to go blue. She responded to me shaking her and gradually came round. Flo started to ring for an ambulance but we live so close to the hospital that we can get there by the time an ambulance would reach us. Although pale, within 20 minutes she was acting as if nothing had happened. However she has been kept in overnight and Flo has the pleasure of staying in hospital with her. The last time the doctors came before I left Jess was hanging upside down off my legs laughing - acting ill yeah! Blood tests have shown nothing likewise an EEG. It doesn't sound like she had a fit, it doesn't appear that she has an infection and so far its not her heart. She may well have an echo tomorrow and the hospital are going to contact cardiology at Great Ormond Street where all her conultants are based. It's pretty scary to have a completely limp non breathing child in your arms, however I knew her heart hadn't stopped and she was responding to be shaken (gently I hasten to have). Anybody had any similar episodes? Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
