Things that scare in the night…

I’m pretty sure that when one is sitting with one’s child on one’s lap at 2:00 am because she’s battling to sleep and her coughing is keeping her up and the only way she seems able to get some sleep is whilst sitting up that she shouldn’t stop breathing. Tamsyn literally stopped breathing for a couple of seconds, scared the bajeesus out of me. I was just about to shake the hell out of her when she kind of shook and took a  breath. Asthma has its moments let me tell you. She seems better this morning albeit really, really tired (I know how she feels). As I was sitting there losing all feeling in my legs, arms etc I thought to myself that we need a 24 hour medical help line. People that one could phone in these kinds of situations who could advise whether one should panic or not because most times one doesn’t have a friggen clue what to do.
