In the early hours of the 16th of July 2009 my wife went into early labour at only 27 weeks. As we arrived at the hospital they knew this little boy was ready to come into this world. They prepped up for a c-section but had no time and my wife was soon pushing and screaming.
Not long after at 4:09am Blake was born but was very small and not breathing on his own, so he was placed on a ventilator. Blake was doing really well for the first couple of days and was put onto CPAP (constant positive air pressure) which was a good sigh but then our luck turned.
We received a phone call from the hospital to come down and have a chat. We were told that he had alot of fluid on his lungs which wasn't good but they were hopeful it would get better and go away if they put him back on the ventilator and that there was some sort of infection which ended up being the "ecoli" bug.
We were given a room to stay in while things were critical so we could be there all the time. All was looking good for a bit but nothing was getting any better and there was still alot of fluid on Blakes lungs, so they tried all different sorts of vibrations and settings on the ventilator but still nothing happened.
After a few more days they decided to put blake on the largest size ventilator and were hoping it would make a difference to his lungs. Blake had scans on a daily basis to see how things were progressing, but they weren't getting any better. On the Friday the 25th, we were told Blake had a stage 1 bleed in his brain and what the possibilities were of this worsening. On Saturday, it went to a stage 2 hemorage and by Sunday it was stage 3-4 which was the worst possible outcome. Our lovely son Blake passed away peacefully in our arms on Monday the 27th July.
This has been so hard to deal with and i'm not coping to well at the moment but don't know what to say to anyone who just wants to talk. I feel so angry at the world still and probably will for a long time.
If you have any advice for a loving father please let me know or just your thoughts. Thankyou
Our son Blake was too beautiful for this world and he is now a star in the sky, flying with angels.
...............RIP little buddy.............
Love for ever & always, Mum, Dad, Ahliya & Cody. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
