The entire time I was reading about your daughter, I kept wincing. It must've been terrifying. One of the reasons I panic when I see pre-schoolers cry is because some of them have this scary breath-holding thing (but not as long as your daughter's). I'm so relieved that they're doing well. And so sad about the Red Cross incident. What an awful condition to set to people so they could get a monitor. So, so relieved you've all made it through. Best wishes to you and your family :)

Bless you and thanks for the best wishes. We've been very lucky and we've also learned to be very cautious. Mostly my kids have not needed to see doctors beyond this. We gave up on them and used our homeopath and then I trained as a homeopath to ensure that my kids had a homeopath at all hours. <3
I have a 10-year-old who has seen a nurse at the minor injuries unit twice in her life, never been to a doctor, never had a conventional medicine of any sort and had her first illness [with a fever] about 2 months ago. She got a cold! She was so unaccustomed to being sick that she complained as if she was dying and the 'man-flu' response is now known fondly as "Doing a Yuki" in our house. She got over her cold overnight with a very high fever. THAT is how our immune systems should operate :-) She is my youngest and was born after I'd had a lot of homeopathic constitutional treatment and she has never had any drugs. She doesn't even need to see my homeopath.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if for all of us our health was that undisturbed?
I have found doctors to be paternalistic in the UK. They are inclined to threaten you if you don't do what they think you should do on behalf of your child. It is quite common place for them to suggest they will contact social services if you choose to refuse their treatment plan. They surely are not all this way ... but my more recent experience with them is so limited I can't tell you if it has changed!
I'm guessing it didn't get better.
Your daughter is so adorable lol. I dream of having a good health but I'm, unfortunately, saddled with an autoimmune disorder for life. I've had doctors who don't seem to care but they're mostly residents so they see me as an opportunity to study a rare case than as a person. But the consultants are, thankfully, different (save for a reliever neuro when my main was in another country for a convention). It's terrible when the people you expect to care don't actually care. Luckily, you're very dedicated to your children. All the best :)
So sorry to hear you have an autoimmune disease. :-( I've seen some autoimmune diseases [Hashimotos and PANDAS in particular] sorted with homeopathy. The medical profession calls things 'incurable' when they can't be cured with their methods.
Don't lose hope <3
