since yesterday my daughter (2.5) has slept a stupid amount of time. for the past cou0ple of days shes had a nasty cold which has made her feel very sorry for herself. yesterday afternoon she went down at 5 for what i thought was a late nap. she woke twice breiefly and did not get up until 10 am this morning. she then asked to go to bed at 3pm, for what i though was a normal nap but she is still asleep now. so far in the past 24 hours shes only spent 5 of them awake. she is taking little fluid and food as she is asleep so much so today she has only had breakfast we planned to give her some dinner when we got back but she wanted to go to bed instead.
she also has a sleep disorder meaning she is on a ventilator while asleep. in all manner of speaking her sleep disorder doesnt seem to be the cause of her sleeping so much as she is very stable currently (heart rate, oxygen levels etc) she has an open ward access at our local hospital but for emergencies with her sleep problem. i feel a bit daft phoning nhs direct up and saying my 2 year old is sleeping too much, any ideas i really dont want her to be sleeping all night til late morning again x
