Today must have been the worst day of my life...today i was scared i would lose my daughter.

Alyssa was wearing no nappy and had a bit of an accident on the wooden flooring. She slipped and fell, banging her head. She was eating a biscuit at the same time which, must have got stuck in her throat. I heard her scream and rushed to her, picked her up and noticed she suddenly stopped making any noise. Her face went bright red, her mouth open wide as though screaming but no sound came out. I blew in her face which luckily made her gasp for air.

I then sat down with her and lay her across my lap and noticed again that she wasnt breathing. I watched in panic and screamed as she went pale, her eyes began to close and her body went limp.
Im glad my boyfriend was here. He suggested she could have biscuit stuck in her throat. the thought didnt enter my mind. To think he should have been at work; had he not been, im not even sure i would have realized and then known what to do.

I then hit her chest which must have cleared her airway as she then started breathing.

We had the paramedics out and all is ok now but now i finally know what fear is. In my mind, fear of spiders, heights etc does not compare to the fear of the possibility of losing my child.

treasure your children

    When my eldest daughter was about 8 months old she was sitting in her highchair and starting to get restless i was in the kitchen and suddlen heard her scream.. i rushed in and she looked like someone had thrown a bucket of water on her... her eyes were rolling back in her head and she was blue... i dragged her out of her highchair and put her on the floor.. screaming for my next door neighbour .. it was a warm day and both our front doors were open and she came rushing in.. while i had my daughter on the floor trying to make her breathe... she was making gagging noises so i pushed my fingers into her mouth and tried to pull her tongue down i thought she was choking on her tongue... it seemed to do the trick but she was fitting and so she clamped down on my finger with her little teeth.. my neigher was on the phone to the ambulance at this point and it was on the way...

    My daughter started to come round from her fit and was surprisingly quiet.. she just wanted to be held and cuddled.. the ambulance arrived and an hour later all 3 of us were in A&E .. then moved onto the childrens ward...

    apparently most children will fit if they get too warm so they werent too worried.. that was until she started to fit again and her temp was normal... her eyes moved to the side and she wasnt focusing.. next thing I know 4 doctors are surrounding her and shes on the bed being sedated... I telephoned my mum because I thought she wasnt going to make it through the night...

    4 hours later she woke up.. said mummy .. had a drink and then went back to sleep.. we stayed in the hospital for a week - they said she must have had a virus - I dont think i have ever been so scared in my life

    I can totally relate hunny.. my heart goes out to you

    Thanks everyone.

    It was scary and sorry you had to go through that Hailey. The thought of losing her scared the shit out of me. As much as i treasured her before, I will treasure every second i have with her.
