I lost my gorgeous baby girl Tilly-leigh six years ago, and it feels just like yesterday.
Altough my life is easyer to live with now, than it was back then.
She is no more than a thought or a heartbeat away.
I love you baby girl.
My love goes out to ALL the lilttle angels.
Tilly-leighs story
I first found out i was having Tilly-leigh on the 17th dec 2003.
I was 5 weeks gone, it was a real shock, as she was not planed. When I first saw her at my 12 week scan, I fell in love, with this tiny wee baby who was kicking her arms and legs, I cried as i was so happy.
As far as I knew everything was going fine, right down to the last 2 weeks.
I went into hospital on my 38th week, and told them my water is braking, they done an scan and my water was there and fine. I went back up two more times telling them that it is going, and on the 3ed time I was 39weeks and 6 days, I was looked over by 3 midwifes and was about to be sent home, I got told a doctor would have to look me over once more before going home, when she did, I got told i was in labour.
(Don't know how the midwifes missed that)
I got sent upsairs and was in labour for five hours, i gave birth to the gorgeous Tilly-leigh on the 17th aug 2004 at 4:33am
(With NO waters).
I was so sure i was having a boy, I cried again tears of joy. I got told that Tilly was a bit on the wee side being 5lb 13 1/2 oz but she of course looked fine to me.
We went to the ward, and Tilly was with me for 12 hours.
Where she got her hospital photo taking (Her profile pic) she wasn't keeping her temperature up, and her apgar score was really low.
Tilly was taking to the special care baby unit, I was told it was only for some tlc,
at that point, I wasn't really that worryed I thought everything was going to be fine.
On the 18th Aug I went down to see Tilly, and got the shock of my life because she was not there, I got told she was moved through to icu...I then broked down and cried.
A doctor sat me down and said that Tilly-leigh had necrotising enterocolitis, (nec for short) witch means she had a hole in her bowel, that had to be fixed.
"Theres only 10% off full term babies that have nec, most of them are pre-term babies or babies with a low birth weight"
Tilly had to go for an op, and signing that paper was the hardest thing ever.
The op went well, and Tilly go back to the icu about 9am on the 19th Aug, I got told that Tilly would have been in and out of hospial for op's for most of her life, (if she had lived) Tilly was a fighter and I am so proud of her, she held on, but saddy at 11:35pm Tilly lost that fight, I held her in my arms as she took her last breath.
"I tryed to sue the hospital for negligence, as I knew my waters had broke, Tilly was in me for two weeks with no waters, and she was ill with a hole in her bowel.
It was a long fight, but everyone in the hospial were sticking up for each other, and there was nothing i could have done"
All I can say is I tryed my best.
last year in 2010 I took my story to the Evening News, to name and shame, and to let everyone hear my story.
We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
and days before that too
We think of you in silence we often speak your name
Now all we have are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake with which we'll never part
God has you in his keeping
we have you in our heart.

In a baby castle, just beyond your eye,
Your baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who are you to wish him back into this world of strife,
No, play on your baby, they'll have eternal life.
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes your eyes,
You'll hear their tiny footsteps come running to your side
Their little hands caress you so tenderly and sweet,
You'll breathe a prayer and close your eyes and embrace them in your sleep.
Now you have a treasure that you rate above all others
You have known true glory,
You are still their mother.
I Thought of You Today
I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.
Poem by Nicholas Gordon
But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
xxxxx
i give you this one thought to keep
i am still with you-do not weep
i am a thousand winds that blow
i am the diamond glints on snow
i am the sunlight on ripened grain
i am the gentle autumn rain
when you awaken in the morning hush
i am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
i am the soft stars that shine at night
do not think of me a gone....
I AM STILL WITH YOU IN EACH NEW DAWN.
