3 ladybugs Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 My mom called me to say that my cousin lost her daughter this morning. COMPLETELY unexpected. My aunt (mother of 6) put her granddaughter to bed and the next morning she didn't wake up. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ My mom said that my aunt said that the child was tired but nothing odd.I lost 3 children, one at 5 months of age. I can't believe I have a cousin that is having to go through this too. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜An autopsy is scheduled. That is all I know. Update 6/14 - The child's first name is Ashlan. She was found the morning of June 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 ladybugs Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Maybe. They live in Washington state and I thought I heard that sids is more common there. But I am having a hard time believing sids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momto10blessings Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Oh I'm so sorry. This happened to a neighbor friend when she was 6. She just never woke up. It ended up that she had some kind of rare heart defect that they didn't know about. So terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) would be the equivalent. This is my worst fear after almost losing a child to SIDS. How awful for your cousin and the family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 :( I am so sorry :( A friend of mine lost her little girl at 22 months with the parents reporting something similar - she seemed extra tired, but nothing truly out of the ordinary. Initially it was blamed on SUDC, but ultimately it turned out she had a very rare heart defect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 That's one of my nightmares. Prayers for your family! Oftentimes sleep apnea or undiagnosed heart conditions seem to underlie these events, but that doesn't make it hurt less or even make it more detectable or predictable to the medical establishment. Whatever the cause it's a horrible tragedy when a child dies. Always. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Oh my. This happened to a friend of my parents, the daughter went to bed at night with a headache and when the mom went to check on her in the morning she was gone. I believe the cause turned out to be meningitis. Praying for your cousin and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
