It's every parents' worst nightmare to see their tot being carted off in an ambulance. 

 

The worry, the panic and the fear of what is to come next is an overwhelming journey, but you know your child is in the right place. 

 

How do you know if you're making the right decision though? Is there a possibility that you are being overprotective?

 

However, we believe you should always go with your gut instinct, and for Sophie Cachia, her gut was right.

Sophie's daughter, Florence, was ready for bed, but her unusual breathing frightened the mum-of-two, prompting her to bring the tot to hospital.

 

"We're not doctors or trained professionals, but with Bobby being an asthmatic (and has been hospitalised multiple times with asthma attacks), we're well aware of the signs to look for," Sophie wrote on Instagram.

 

"The sucking in under her throat and her ribs means she's working really hard to breathe. We used prior knowledge and listened to our gut and Jaryd took her in just before bed time."

Sophie took a video of her daughter breathing before leaving for the hospital in case anything changed on the way there - she wanted to have something to show them. 

 

"I only took this video just before they left in case she got to the hospital and was breathing fine, I always prefer to have something to show them upon arrival," the mum explained. 

 

Once she was admitted to hospital, little Florence was hooked up to oxygen to help her breathe and spent a night under the careful watch of the doctors. 

 

Updating her followers a short time later, Mum revealed: "Florence is doing VERY well and loving being back in her own bed. Thank you again for all the love."

A huge thank you to Sophie for sharing her video in an effort to help other parents.
