baby paul was born on the 18th nov 08 at 01.55am - 25+5 days (born 15 wks early) by emergency
caesarean due to cord prolapse, BREECH as that was immediate threat to me or baby paul his weight
was 930grams (2lb's & 1 oz's) and breathing on his own, he was took up to NEONATAL UNIT and was
stable in ICU, and i was took to the CARDIAC WARD for 24 hr monitoring as my heart rate was slipping
while having my caesarean, i saw baby paul for the first time late wed night. that night the wee man
had a blood tranfusion and was comfortable.. the next few days he caught a chest infection, he was
forgettin to breath so he was put on the ventilater so he could have a rest while the infection was
gettin treated.. the next few days he was back off the ventilater and breathing on his own and he
was a wee rascal as his oxygen levels were up and down due to him keeping his mouth opened, then the
next few days he was back on the ventilater due to him catching another infection but he was tryin
to fight the ventilater by tryin to breath while being ventilated so they had to sedate him, then on
the 9th dec 08 we got a phone call at 08.50am and was told baby paul wasn't feeling too well could
we come up... once we were at the hosp baby paul was a funny colour and his tummy was all bloated
out, he got an x-ray and when they changed his nappy their was blood in it, we were told that he had
NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS known as NEC + PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOUS he only had 20% chance of
surviving this as its a miracle if they do, but he fought long and hard as the nurses & docs
weren't expecting him to last as long as he did..the poor wee guy had blood coming up out of his
mouth which was frightening for me and his daddy, he was critically ill the next few days so paul
decided to stay overnight with him on sunday the 14th dec 08 then i got a phone call on the monday
at 06.41am to come up as baby paul was very poorly, i got to the hosp at 07.10 but baby paul had
already past away at 7 am, the doc took all the tubes & needles out and we got to hold him for the
first time, baby paul gave up his fight as NEC just got too much for him and we're so proud of him
but he's in no more pain now...forgot to mention when baby paul past away we got asked if we wanted
a post morton on him just to see how bad NEC had infected his wee body and to check if their was
anything else but we said no as we'd thought he'd been thru enough just let him rest now...


R.I.P BABY PAUL XXXXXXX

WHAT IS NEC

Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious illness in which tissues in the intestine (gut) become
inflamed and start to die. This can lead to a perforation (hole) developing which allows the
contents of the intestine to leak into the abdomen (tummy). This can cause a very dangerous
infection.

NEC can be difficult to diagnose but the symptoms tend to include general signs of illness, problems
feeding, and a swollen and tender abdomen. NEC is the most common surgical emergency in newborn
babies and tends to affect more babies born prematurely than those born full-term. NEC seems to
becoming more common, but it is likely that this is because more premature babies are surviving.



UNFORTUNITLY BABY PAUL DIDN'T SURVIVE AS HE WAS TOO SMALL TO BE OPERATED ON, IF HE WAS THAT WE BIT
OLDER AND HIS WEE BODY HAD BEEN STRONG ENOUGH TO COPE WITH SURGERY THEN HE WOULD BE HERE TODAY

Last night at bedtime I looked out
to say goodnight to you
and out the window through the clouds
a star came came shining through

It sparkled and it twinkled
like a precious diamond stone
it looked as if it winked at me
and I feel less alone

On earth we can see starlight
even if the star has gone
and though you are not with me
your light still does shine on

So though I cannot kiss your face
or tuck you in all tight
I'll look to heaven, see a star
and whisper your goodnight. XX

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ A SPECIAL ANGEL Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.

"Angel"

Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.

Memories and little prayers,
We all are mourning you,
But we’ll celebrate the short life you led;
We will never forget you.

I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.

You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
We love you so, I love you so,
But now we say goodbye.

Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears, just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
We know you did your best.

It was your time, so as we cry,
Go forward that extra mile,
You did what you were sent to do,
You made everybody smile.

♥ღ♥ Whatever our hands touch---
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture,
On doorknobs, dishes, books,
As we touch we leave our identity.

Oh please where ever I go today,
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness and genuine concern.

May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter,
Or an anxious mother,
Or, perhaps, a dear friend!

I shall go out today
To leave heartprints,
And if someone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense be...YOUR LOVE
Touching through ME ♥ღ♥ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother
And I know I heard him say...

A mother has a baby
This we know is true.
But, God, can you be a mother
when your baby is not with you?

Yes, you can He replied,
With confidence in His voice.
I give many women babies
When they leave is not their choice.

Some I send for a lifetime,
And others just for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay.

I just don't understand this God,
I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared His throat
And then I saw a tear.

I wish I could show you
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
With other children and say:

"We go to earth to learn our lessons
Of love and life and fear.
My mummy loved me oh so much
I got to come straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a mom
Who has so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My mummy set me free.

I miss my mummy Oh so much,
But I visit every day.
When she goes to sleep
On her pillow is where I lay.

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
And I whisper in her ear.
Mummy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here."

So, you see my dear sweet one,
Your children are not blue.
Your babies are here in MY home,
They'll be at Heaven's gate waiting for you.

So now you see what makes a mother,
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of,
Right from the very start.

Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother,
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day,
And they'll know you were the best one!
