Don't worry all will be OK. Things happen as they grow up. Is worrying at the time though.
My worse one was with my 8 year old. I was listening to sky blue player. We was winning by a goal and had reached injury time but it had been one way traffic. I could hear commotion in the kids room next door but had headphones on so I could hear the game. Heard my wife scream. Went to see what was happening. My daughter had gone grey and her lips were blue. My wife is a trained first aider but went to bits. The eldest lad was a lifeguard at the time and had saved the life of a few young children in the past. But he went to bits because it was his baby sister. Which left me.
I managed to resuscitate her but she stopped breathing a couple of times more. In between this I was shouting to wife on the phone to get ready to get her to hospital as they couldn't or wouldn't say how long the ambulance would take. It finally turned up. Was most probably less than 5 minutes but seemed like forever. It then sat outside for about 45 minutes while they stabilised her and then raced to hospital with me driving behind. When I got there I phoned up work to say that I wouldn't be in.
It was then that I saw myself as being heartless. I didn't panic or have the feelings that you would expect. And having the mind to phone work in the middle of it? Can't remember the name of what they called it. But it is quite common. The same happened to my boss and his son. When ill they overheat and start shutting down. Said it might stay with her through childhood or never happen again. I stayed next to her all night just watching her breathe. Wasn't a problem as I was ready for a night shift. Two days later she was back home and running around as though nothing had happened :smuggrin:
Just a little update, all tests were clear thank God, so she has come home and she will be off school today and we were told to keep an eye on her. So I will be on baby sitting duty today. Very worrying and but the doctors gave her the all clear from something serious.
Thanks for the concern everyone.
At least I have the game on Sky to watch as long as its on Sky 1.
Glad to hear about the positive news COAB, hopefully you can enjoy the game tonight and feel a bit more at ease!
Astute, I know what you mean. Something similar happened to me after Bristol City away a few years back (almost on this day) when tragically one of our fellow supporters passed away following a car accident on the M5. You just sort of zone out of reality and go into action man mode. I can't explain it any better than that.
One minute you're in the middle of the biggest cluster fuck you've ever seen and you're doing everything you can to help and manage the situation, the next you realise two hours have gone by, you're surrounded my emergency services, and the motorway has closed and you didn't even notice. It's crazy, even though one lad sadly didn't make it, me and a mate managed to help the other guy to safety who at one stage we didn't think was going to make it either.
It really puts things into perpescitive, but it I just don't understand how one moment you can be like James Bond, and the next you're in some random motorway services talking to strangers like you're on crack cocaine and then having a break down. Adrenaline I guess!
Hope we get a win for everyone having a shit time of it tonight, and most importantly stay safe!
