Not a good day. Started all right, but after lunch my daughter got a migraine. She went to her bedroom. I heard a thump. She had collapsed on the floor - couuldn't move, speak or see this time. She was so scared she was hyperventilating too. I held her and calmed her. After about 1/2 hour she started to make sounds. When her speech came back she was saying "Help me, Mummy. Help me". There was nothing I could do but hold her until she recovered enough to help me get her on the bed. I called the doctor. He gave her painkillers for the headache but said it will take a few days for her system to recover from this one, so the tests can't start yet. Maybe next week, So no medication until then either and no way of knowing if what happened today will happen again tomorrow. Tonight she wanted to talk to her best friend, but her phone was ringing unanswered. On calling her friend's parents she found out that her friend had been driving on the motorway when there was an electrical fault. Her car stopped and others rammed into it. Being the front vehicle, her friend was luckily unhurt, but her car is a total loss. I thank God that both girls are safe in their own beds tonight; and I pray for a better day for them both tomorrow. I don't know how I am. Just on autopilot I think. Crying inside for my lovely daughter and feeling very helpless. Not panicking but maybe too calm. I don't know how to deal with this. I just pray for me to have the strength to help my daughter through. Wish we were all closer - I could really do with a group hug from you all right now. Hope your day has been good. Whatever - we have SURVIVED it! xxx

1. 11-02-2008 20:09 Dear Maddie - How scary for you and for your daughter! But I\'m SOOO glad she was home! Being able to hold her until it began to pass seems to me to be exactly right. I\'m so grateful you were there. One step at a time - that is how you will handle it. Loving her, loving yourself. Being loved by others. You are not alone.

I am sooo glad that she was home with you, that you were able to hold and comfort her. It is good that she is not alone. You both have each other to hold and love. Comfort her in any way you can. I wish I could give you a hug right now, I just wish I could help in some way, any way. It is good you are not suffering panic, but I think it would be difficult because you are so exhausted. I think "auto pilot" was the right word to choose. Please try to sleep. Maybe if you and her sleep in the same room you will sleep better because you know she is right there and you will wake to anything wrong. I love you! We're here for you!

Most people would be a mess after everything you went through today...But you held it together and did everything you could to comfort your daughter...I hope you get some much needed rest tonight, and that tomorrow is a better day...You and your daughter will be in my prayers...HUGS IP: 74.136.120.19 Registered 4. 12-02-2008 00:17 Big hugs Maddie!! I'll keep your daughter in my prayers, I can only imagine how frightening that must be. But you can do it, we all know you can do it, and I'm pretty sure that deep down underneath the panic, YOU know that you can do it! God bless IP: 75.54.106.109 Registered 5. 12-02-2008 03:37 maddie, my heart goes out to you. There is nothing worse than seeing your children go through that, no matter how old they are. She is lucky to have you. Sending you a hug, we are thinking of you both.
