my son and his lovely fiancé have been waiting to be parents for the last 9 months ,and for me and my wife to become grandparents, the pregnancy was flawless and so on Wednesday baby Maisie was delivered by emergency c section , the baby was distressed ,the cause being the cord twice round her little neck , this had reduced blood and oxygen supply and poor Maisie was born with no heart beat, she was revived by a fantastic medical team at the James cook hospital in Middlesbrough but it took 7 minutes to get a pulse, Maisie is now in intensive care where she has been for he last three days of this nightmare, her whole body has taken a massive hit, heart , kidneys , bowels etc are all failing and not responding to treatment, she was chilled on a specifically mat by 2.5 degrees to halt any further brain damage, last night she was christened at her bed in the icu which was extremely emotional . Today is the telling day , poor girl is exhausted from fighting to survive, we are all exhausted but being strong for my son and his brave fiancé , if you have a spare moment today please say a little prayer for Maisie Hope Nellis , sorry to off load on you all just had to tell someone

So sorry to hear this terrible news, my condolences to you and all of your family.

So sorry to hear the bad news mate :( RIP

I just cant imagine what 'mum' is going through right now. Send her all our love.

Maisie isn't suffering now and I'm sure she is in a good place.

So sorry to hear. My condolences to you and your family.

The death of a loved one always turns my mind to this poem, I hope you can find some comfort in these words;

 

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there, I do not sleep

I am a 1,000 winds that blow

I am the diamond glints on snow

I am the sun on ripened grain

I am the gentle autumn rain

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled light

I am the soft star that shines at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry

I am not there; I did not die.

 

(by an anonymous poet)

Why is it, that poem, which instructs me not to cry, always makes me cry?

Sorry to hear that Steve and all the best.

 

I pray all will be well soon.

Oh man I'm so sorry - I feel like I've been kicked in the stomach. RIP little Maisie. :cry:
