My friends, on Wednesday my wife went for a routine check up 28 weeks into her pregnancy. A scan showed he had only grown to the size of a 23 week old and there were complications. It would therefore be necessary for the baby to be delivered ASAP by C-Section.

He was 1lb 5oz and suffered from bleeding and other complications. Thursday morning we were informed he had a very small chance of living and even if he did then would suffer severe brain damage. We took the decision to end his life-support and he died in my wife's arms that morning.

I guess we'll never be the same again and don't seem to be able to stop the tears.

RIP, George Cridland 2010 Crying or Very sad

Bob,
I'm deeply saddened by painful news written.
In sad times like this it always good to remember marriage vows and happines that surrounded it.
Eventually you'll stop crying but with every look at random baby, toddler, kid, young man you'll ask yourself would George look like this? And it will hurt allover again and tears will come back along with all memories.
George, your wife and you Bob will be in my prays tonight.

My deepest condolences go out to you and your wife.

Heartbreaking really. We have a 2 month old boy. I remember the scans being a hard part, very anxious every time to know everything is ok with your baby.
