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
To my mum
To my mum, from heaven.
I just wanted you to know.
That I'll be with you wherever you go.
I've gotten my wings and learned how to fly.
And I'll dry your tears whenever you cry.
Though I've went away and it seems we're apart.
You will forever be my soul and my heart.
The love that we shared will not go astray.
For deep in my heart it will always stay.
You held me close when I was filled with pain.
And your smile gave me sunshine when my life filled with rain.
You guided me when no one else could.
You protected me when no one else would.
We've shared so much that mere words can't express how knowing you has made me feel truly blessed.
So please dear mum, fret not for me, for now my soul is truly free.
So think of me often, as much as you can.
And I'll always be there to hold your hand.
I'll be your angel and guide you through life.
I'll give you comfort through torment and strife.
So thanks dear mum again and again, thank you always for being my mum and my friend xxxxx

Take a moment of your day
To maybe sit and in your mind
Think of all the precious babies
Yours, theirs and mine
Those whose short lives were over
Before they had really ever begun
Those precious little bundles
Who have made us all a Mum
Their tiny lives have touched us all
And what I want to say
They have brought us all together
Each and every day
The babies whose beautiful faces
In our minds forever will be
Whose names are etched within our hearts
For anyone, the whole world to see
The babies who touched our lives
Who we think of through our tears
I hope in time we will be able to smile
When we remember them through the years
So this week while we remember
All our babies who had to go
We shall show the world we are united
And how we love and miss them so
In my thoughts today Alistairxx

touched by gold
I was thinking how different life is for me
And about the things that will never be
To watch you grow into that fine young man
For me is now not part of the plan
I realize my life will never be the same
Even though I carry on with life's little game
I can't go back to where I was before
That part of my life is now a closed door
But in spite of the pain I must endure
I want you to know one thing for sure
I wouldn't trade places with any other on earth
And I'm proud to be the one who gave you birth
I live with tragedy and sorrow, that's true
But also a great Love have I shared with you
For you've left a purpose for your Mom and Dad
To let other know of the son we had
I want you to know your story will be told
And others will know I've been touched by Gold

A poem from your angel
♥.•�.�•.♥.• � ♥.•�.�•.♥.• �♥.•�.�•.♥.•� ♥.•�.�•.♥.• �
Never think you are on your own
I`d never let you walk alone
When you`re down and want to cry
Let it out, let your tears run dry,
I watch and guide you everyday
So that you can find your way
And when you`re down and in despair
Just call my name and i`ll be there,
Right by your side through good and bad
But you need never feel sad,
Until it`s time for your journey home
Just remember you`re not on your own
We`ll meet again sometime soon
And we`ll be together, like the stars and moon

God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of 'little things'
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
I think he knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship
Unselfish...lasting. ..true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
With CHERISHED GTS FRIENDS....like you.

Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun. And remember,
I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
