Man… sorry for your loss. That’s your worst nightmare. My daughter has asthma but not to a live threatening degree, and it already gets me worried a lot. Can’t amazine losing on of my kids. Hope you find a way to live with it.
I AM in. Love quads, but don’t have a S42 and it would be an honour.
6 months ago… it was 10:30 in the morning and I was napping as usual to help get me through the transition that happens when I take my morning meds. I had ear plugs in and realized that the commotio I heard was not a dream, but was the terrifying scream my wife. I opened my eyes looking towards the master bathroom door and saw my wife holding my unconscious daughter in her arms. My heart jumped, or sank, or I don’t really know what it did but whatever it did I hope it doesn’t ever do it again. I jumped up and tried to wake my daughter. After less than a minute she woke up. I carried her to the bed. Her body was colorless. Her lips were white. She laid there responsive but saying she didn’t feel well. This is where my story differs. We brought her to the er and she has been fine since. I still re-live those vivid images from when my eyes opened. I have jumped up from my nap in a panic numerous times since. Thinking I am hearing the screams of my wife or daughter. It’s terrible friend! I can’t imagine. There are no words. I can only offer my prayers. Asking for grace and some resemblance of peace. Thanks for the giveaway! I need to do one myself so maybe I can win this one to help with that.
Congratulations with the so many posts. I did not really notice your increased intolerance, but it’s fine anyway , thanks for the explanation.
Not in for a S42.
I respect your decision to share your experiences with us on a public forum. That could not have come easy. I don’t think I would be able to do the same. Maybe because we are all essentially strangers it seems easier to do, but you never know how the public will react.
I know something about how that feels, have lost a son myself, and did the race to the hospital with my next born son as well, not knowing if his breathing would last the 3km to the ER. He is 18 now, had a few rough moments with his asthma over the years (and mine). Hang in there, over the years the loss will become less painful.
Congrats on the prolific post count, and condolences for the loss of your son - my heart aches for you - I cannot imagine the pain from that kind of loss…
