Alistair Robert Dale Cook was born on Thursday 3rd January 2008. We knew we were having a baby boy &
had picked the name Alistair a few months before his middle names Robert was after his great-grandad
who got to see baby Alistair for the first time at his 80th birthday party (6/1/08) & Dale after my
brother Alistair's Uncle Dale. Alistair was due on 5th January & I was induced due to high blood
pressure & traces of protein in my water. Which i do think could be something to do with the death
of my son Alistair.
My pregnancy had being fine just a bit of morning sickness but nothing to worry about. Right up
until about 35 weeks at this point nothing seemed wrong but I was feeling quite dizzy & on Monday of
that week I phoned Ben to pick me up from work as I wasn't feeling well at all , when I got home I
rung the hospital number I had being given & spoke to a midwife. She was very helpful & as I was
going for an appointment to see my Midwife the next day I thought I may as well hang on as Alistair
was still very active & nothing seemed wrong. I just honestly thought it was me overdoing it. The
next day I was feeling a little better & went to see the midwife I explained the situation & as my
water sample was fine and my blood pressure hadn't changed, Alistair's heart beat & movements were
fine everything seemed ok. I decided it would be best for me to leave work a week earlier than I had
planned & try to rest as much as possible so I left work at 36 weeks instead of 37 I wanted to leave
work the latest I could so I would have more time at home afterwards. at 37 weeks the midwife did a
home visit to talk to us about labour when she measured me I was still measuring for 35 weeks my
blood pressure & water sample were fine she wanted to see me in 9 days time to make sure everything
was ok. At almost 39 weeks I went to see the midwife again my blood pressure was ok but she hadn't
checked my water sample. I was still measuring 35 weeks so she rang the hospital to see if they
could book an appointment for a growth scan. she couldn't get through so she rang me back when I got
home she managed to get an appointment for the ANDU for Wednesday 2nd January (In my opinion they
should of got me in a lot earlier) by now my water sample was showing Protein in it & my blood
pressure had now rocketed up to 143/106. Alistair was now being monitored & I was given cold orange
juice to get him moving. I was then told that my signs were looking towards pre-eclampsia & they
wanted me in for Induction of Labour that evening. I was given the gel in the evening & first thing
Thursday morning Alistair arrived at 1:06pm weighing 5 pounds 11oz (small we think due to him not
growing)
Alistair was fine when he was born, I stayed in hospital overnight due to high blood pressure as
they still needed to monitor me & we went home at 1:30pm the next day. Alistair was a happy baby &
everything seemed fine he had a bit of jaundice & a sticky eye but apart from that he was ok. Until
day 10 came & he got weighed (the first time he'd been weighed from birth) & he only weighed 4pounds
8oz he'd lost over 1 pound the midwife referred us to the doctors who reassured us everything was
fine but wanted to see him Friday. Friday came a day I was dreading as it was Ben's first day back
at work but no one could have prepared me for the events that would happen that day. Alistair woke
up about 8ish I had fed him & then changed him gave him a cuddle then put him in his mosses basket &
carried him downstairs & put the moses basket on the sofa. I went into the adjoining kitchen & was
washing up & making myself some breakfast. There was a knock on the door it was the midwife she had
come to weigh baby Alistair I took Alistair out of the moses basket, undressed him & passed him to
the midwife to put him on the scales he was still weighing 4 pounds 8oz. The midwife was concerned
so she passed Alistair back to me & rung the doctors to make an earlier appointment. As I was
dressing Alistair we both noticed that something wasn't right Alistair was Blue & finding it
difficult to breath & wasn't responding. The midwife called 999 & asked for an ambulance. Ben who
I’d left in bed as it was his first day back at work (Ben is a chef so he starts at 1:30 &
finishes late) Woke up to me screaming his name I told Ben to get dressed quickly & come downstairs
Ben got Alistair a blanket to keep him warm as he felt really cold & I passed Alistair to Ben & went
to get dressed myself. The midwife started doing CPR on Alistair he wasn't unconscious she just
wanted to help him breathe the ambulance came & they got Alistair into the ambulance & we got to A&E
there was a whole team waiting as the midwife had rung ahead. Alistair was finally made stable after
having 5 shots of adrenalin & was transferred to LGI PICU. They had taken lots of tests & at about
9:30 they took Alistair for a Brain Scan They took me & Ben into a room & told us that Alistair had
suffered severe Brain damage due to lack of oxygen & they gave him half a % chance of surviving they
then brought our parents in & Doctor gave us 2 choices we could turn off Alistair's machine & hope
for the best but the doctor though he would die within 24 hours or we could let him go with us
surrounded by the people who loved him so we decided we couldn't let him suffer any more so we got
all our families to come my mum drove a 3 & half hour round trip to get my Brothers & Sister & Ben's
dad did the same to get Ben's brother his Godparent's John, Emma & Matty came & we had Alistair
Baptised in Hospital & then everyone said there goodbyes & left the room Alistair was given a highly
dosed sedative & was taken off the machine & was left to go to sleep in the arms of his loving Mummy
& Daddy. Defiantly the worst day of all of our lives afterwards I cuddled Alistair for a few hours
also My mum & Ben's mum had a cuddle too me & my mum (Alistair's grandma) Painted Alistair’s hands
& feet & washed Alistair for the last time.
We have found out that Alistair died of a Pulmonary Herrorrhage (Bleeding in the lungs) but we are
still waiting to find out why this happened. They have now being sent to a specialist doctor in
Birmingham to try & find WHY this happened so hopefully in a couple of weeks we should know more.
Rest In Peace darling love you Always Mummy & Daddy xxxxxxxx
Blessings
Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure.

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
Thank you for all your support through 2008.
Thinking of you
Love Laura

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Thinking of you
Makes the miles disappear,
Together we're looking at bright decorations,
Enjoying what we like to do,
Thinking of you makes the miles disappear~
For you're missed very much
All year through…
So just because you're
Far away, don't think
For a moment that you're forgotten.
I'm thinking about you because loving thoughts travel far,
And wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year
Full of wonderful things
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

'Tis Christmas in Heaven
What a beautiful sight!
It's wonderful here;
Everything is all right.
The crib is adorned
With the brilliance of stars,
Wisemen have come
From Venus and Mars.
I've met all our dear ones
Who preceded us here;
The reunion was lovely,
An event full of cheer.
And tonight we'll all gather,
In reverence we'll kneel,
For the Babe in the cradle
Up in Heaven is Real.
I think of my family
that I left behind
And I pray that your Christmas
Is as blessed as mine
Please shed no more tears,
For my soul is at rest,
Just love one another;
Live life to its best.
Yes, It's Christmas In Heaven,
So I've heard them say,
Yet, Christmas In Heaven
Happens every day.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
WITH LOVE AT CHRISTMAS
This
Xmas,
I would
like to put
up a tree in my
heart, and instead
of hanging presents,
I would like to put the
names of all my friends.
Close friends and not so close
friends. The old friends, the new
friends. Those that I see every day
and the ones that I rarely see. The ones
that I always remember and the ones that
I sometimes forget. The ones that are always
there and the ones that seldom are. The friends of
difficult times and the ones of happy times. Friends
who, without meaning to, I have hurt, or without meaning
to have hurt me. Those that I know well and those I only know
by name. Those that owe me little and those that I owe so much.
My humble friends and my important friends. The names of all those
that have passed through my life no matter how fleetingly. A tree with
very deep roots and very long
and strong branches so that
their names may never be
plucked from my heart. So
that new names from all
over may join the existing ones. A tree with a very
pleasant shade so that our friendship may take a
moment of rest from the battles of life. "May the
happy moments of Xmas brighten every day of
the new year". These are my sincere wishes.
love always paula(kayden gelders mummy)

To fill your world with cheer
May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold
I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too.
