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

When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
With the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
And so He takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult,
Still somehow we must try.
The saddest word that mankind knows
Will always be 'goodbye'.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realize God loves children
Angels are hard to find.
sorry for missed candels love as always janet
Angels
Angels soar through heaven
With everlasting light
Looking down from heaven
Saying their "goodnights"
Kissing all who loved them
So gently on the face
This life's tender mercy
Each parent can embrace
Wings and shiny halos
Travel from on high
Surrounding all their loved ones
They never say good-bye.
Nite Nite angel sweetdreams love hugs and kisses x x x x x x x
SPECIAL ANGEL
This is a very special angel
As you can plainly see
The reason it's so special is
It's just for you, from me.
Whenever you are lonely
Or even feeling blue
You only have to hold this angel
To know I think of you.
So keep this angel with you
As a reminder of the joys we've shared
And remember it's a symbol
Of a loving heart that cares.

"Death of a Child"
Sorry I didn't get to stay.
To laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side.
I'm sorry that I had to die.
God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.
To help you look up and see
Both God and little me.
Mommy, I wish I could stay.
Just like I heard you pray.
But, all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.
God didn't take me cause' He's mad.
He didn't send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious...don't you see?
Up here no trouble do I see
and the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play
you'll come here too, mommy, someday.
Until the day you join me here,
I'll love you mommy, dear.
Each breeze you feel and see,
brings love and a kiss from me.

SAND AND STONE
********************************
TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT
DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE
THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND
'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE'
THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH
THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE! AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.
AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:
'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE'
THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?'
'THE FRIEND REPLIED
WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY
BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT'
LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.
THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL PERSON,
AN HOUR TO APPRECIATE THEM,
A DAY TO LOVE THEM,
BUT THEN
AN ENTIRE LIFE
TO FORGET THEM.
SEND THIS TO
THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET.
I JUST DID.
TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE!
DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS
YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE
WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE!
AND IF I HAPPEN TO GET IT BACK,
THEN I KNOW MY PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. X
****************************************
Always in our thoughts
Forever in our hearts

love liam coombs mum x
If only we could turn back time,
life once again would be so fine,
time would pass you'd still be here,
to have to hold to love so dear,
If all the gifts of heaven and earth
were ours to have,
they'd have no worth the greatest gift in time and space,
would be to feel your warm embrace.
We know that love can't turn back time and life will never be fine.
Time will pass but you'll still be hear,
in memory held and loved so dear.
