It's been such a long and scary night. DD12 fainted in the bathroom last night and hit her head on the tub. I was bathing DD6 and heard the sickening thud of her head and then she's on the floor at my feet, out cold. I called her name 3 times with no response then called out to DH who carried her into the lounge and I called for an ambulance. She started to come around and by the time the ambulance arrived she was able to speak and colour was returning to her face. She had a neck brace on and it had to remain for hours until they did an xray of her neck and spine which came back all clear. Then they did an ECG and the doctor said the results were abnormal and started asking me questions about whether anyone has a heart condition in the family or whether anyone has drowned (I still don't understand why he asked this question), there is nothing on DH's side of the family and for myself being adopted I have no idea of what medical conditions run in my biological side. I should have asked more questions but he has sent off a referral for her to see a Pediatric Cardiologist at the Royal Childrens Hospital. I'm just so scared for her and pray that it is nothing too serious.
