Dude :(



That little guy is awesome, congratulations. I hope things go smoothly for you all.
 
Congratulations on a gorgeous little boy :)

I know times are hard but try to stay strong for James and Karen, good times will come :)
 
Wow, you've had some really tough breaks over the last year. My cousin was born at a similar weight as your son and with some major health concerns, but she's now 30 years old and living an absolutely normal life, so it can and does happen.

I'm sure everything will be just fine with your son. I've got my fingers crossed for you and your partner as you really deserve some good luck from what I've just read.
 
Wow, your post knocked me for six, some horrible luck there :(

Congratulations on great looking little lad though, i'm sure everything will work out fine and your luck will change!

Thanks for sharing your story :)
 
Life is cruel at times and you have had it worse than most. Good luck to you all, you will just have to love him twice as much :).
 
Sorry to hear about all the bad stuff that's happening - it's absolutely bonkers how good premature infant care is these days though, being born at 27 weeks is crazy early but your lad seems to be a fighter - best wishes :)
 
That hit me hard. I can't imagine what you and your wife must be going through.
I hope in some way it helped you to get that out and share it.

You're gonna be a great dad to James. He looks like a strong little lad.
 
Your story made a tear or two trickle;e thats so sad. Poor Ellie may she rest in peace. Little James is beautiful I am so sorry for the tough times you and Karen have been through. thoughts are with you dude x
 
Incredibly brave of you to share all this, kudos to you.

I think a few of us on OCUK lost our dads to heart attacks around the same time last year. My dad collapsed in work, had 40 minutes of CPR to regain a pulse and breathing, but going without oxygen did too much damage. He passed away 3 days later in the hospitals ICU ward.

There were so many emotions during those 3 days at the hospital, knowing we would not see him watch me and my wife marry later that year, that if we are lucky enough to have children he would never get to see or hold them....

The whole experience for me made me realise what real priorities in life were. I guess everything really does happen for a reason.

I can't imagine how difficult the last year has been for you, but I hope you and your family can have all the health and happiness you need. Keep us updated on progress with the little one
 
Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy rollins. You and your wife have my deepest sympathies with the loss of Ellie and previous heartaches. My sister has experienced two miscarriages one many years ago and the other was Friday three months in, she is bleeding heavily and might have to go under the knife soon unless it stops naturally. On a positive note she does have three children, two boys and a girl to keep her mind occupied.
 
Christ man, I can't even imagine how hard that's been for you. I nearly cried on the train to work just reading it. I genuinely hope that the worst has passed and you'll be able to enjoy your new home with your partner and son.
 
best wishes to you and your family m8.
the docs have to tell you the worst case scenario. we had problems when my daughter was born. just before my wife went into the delivery room, they couldn't find a heart beat from the baby. anyway turns out my wife had a placental abruption and the next thing I know the room was filled with the emergancy team. it took them 14 mins to revive my daughter they also gave her a blood transfusionthen sent her off to manchester for cooling.
they told us she might not make it through the day and if she did she would probably have major brain damage.

she spent 2 weeks in the Nicu at manchester then almost 2 weeks in burnley. she had numerous brain scans and an MRI. We got lucky and there was no sign of any damage.

she's now 3.5 years and doing great.

The NHS has fantastic staff, take it day by day sometimes things work out ok.
 
Blimey, I hope you are all over the worst of it & things start to pick up for you all, Good luck. :)
 
Christ, Genuinely do not know what to say... Just reading that had me well up slightly so I can only imagine what you must have gone through.

I honestly hope the worst is over for you.
 
Meh you nearly made a grown man cry at work :(

That is really rough going m8. On the positive side you have a new baby to look after and enjoy. There will be dark times but there is nothing you or your partner could have done differently so dont be too harsh on yourselves.

Might be worth considering going to speak to a professional, you and your mrs have had a lot to get through and it will not help if you bottle things up. Good luck.
