thankyou Mater childrens

yes you read right, we spent the day at Mater childrens hospital yesterday!!! our day went like this.

get up early see the boys off to sydney, have relaxing cuppa and update and read neglected blogs, (even manged to leave a few comments), Miss Hiccup wakes at around 7.30.

we have a lovely breakfast together...just the two of us.. ran a bath for her, so now fed and washed, i decided to get ready and have a girly day shopping..
pop herdown on the bathroom floor, and start to blowdry my hair.
Miss Hiccup toddles off to her bedroom, (which can be seen from the bathroom as its right next door)
after 30 seconds she comes in screaming trying to rip off her shirt, the first thing that comes to my mind is...she has been bitten by something and its still in her shirt, i rip her shirt off, pick her up, and bang she passes out in my arms....well i can not tell you what is going through my head!
i gave her a shake and she came through, she was as pale as anything, with blue lips, and out she goes again, so i ring an ambulance straight away...... paramedic, (lovely lady) runs in within 3 mins, by this time Miss Hiccup has blacked out twice more....she checks her over for bites and too finds nothing, by this time an ambulance has shown up, and off to hospital we go...

so after heart monitors, lung breathing tests etc, etc etc (and me busting to go to the toilet, but wont leave her) the doctor comes near her, and accidently frightens her, and she blacks out again, He gives her a quick slap, smiles at me and says... your little angel has learnt to hold her breath!!!! WTF!!!! is my answer to that...how do you explain the screaming before it happened, and he says, something obviously scared her, like i did just then, and her way of dealing with this is to cry and hold her breath!!!!! little monster!!!

all is well and she hasn't done it again since!!!!, they say she may never do it again, but at least now i know what to do if she does!!!

OMG! That would of been so stressful! Wow holding her breath, at least it wasn't anything serious in the end. As you said at least you know what to do now.
