    thanks roze for your message, sorry to hear of the desperate situation. I can only imagine that a seriously ill baby must be one of the most god awful, distressing and painful experiences parents and close one's can go through. Are you close or related to the family?

    I do not know the details of course but I am constantly amazed at how todays advances in care and medicine can help the weakest, premature and smallest child, some not much bigger than our hand.

     I am thinking of him/her and you and hope the little mite can pull through. I bored and assailed you earlier with my atheism. I do however very much believe in the spirit. If the good will, hope and strength of all of us on here can help the little fighter please be assured he/she has a limitless supply.

    Bless the baby and warm hugs to yourself

    There is not much I can add here, except that I know that intention does count for a lot, and intention alone can change things, even big things.  My intention is for this situation to resolve in the best possible way for all involved. 

    Think positive, do not fear the negative. 

    Don't worry about things that may or may not happen.  If they happen, there will be time to worry about it when it happens. If it does not happen, then all the worrying now will have been wasted.  Worrying now will not change the outcome for the better, and sometimes will change it for the worst.

    My absolute best intentions go out to you, Roze, and the Baby.

    Dear Roze,

    I can only imagine what might be behind the reason for this post, whatever it is I really hope that the child gets the help it needs and that the parents find the strength to get them through.

    A young life is such a precious gift but so fragile - if thoughts and good wishes could heal, the little darling would be better already.

    Nothing brings on a cold chill in me as much as the worry for a new baby.  I'm up for making this little one the core of my thoughts today. I believe in power of sending love through conscious thoughts and that is sometimes all I can contribute.

     

    To the little one's parents, aunties and uncles, grandparents and everyone else who are waiting through this time,  my thoughts of love and care are with you.  I will join you in loving this new little soul and sending blessings of strength and wellness.

    UM xx

    Oh roze, I'm so sorry that you and your loved ones are dealing with such hardship.

    My thoughts are with you and your loved ones, I hope that little baby gets through this alright and that there aren't any other complications. For me its kinda hard to type this because yesteday i just relived my own rude awakening with my son's misdiagnosis.

    Please stay strong. 

    Lots of love and light to you all. M&M

         "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in ay trouble with the comfort we ourselves have recieved from God.  For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ out comfort overflows.  If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.  And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so aso you share in our comfort."

    This is not happening in my life but in the life of one of the Wallers - someone i care about a great deal. I just wanted her to know the community here is thinking of her and her family and most of all the little baby. I do believe in the power of love - even if it cannot heal - it can bring support at times of utmost desperation. Let us continue to hold our sister Waller and her family and the baby in our hearts and thoughts. love roze

    I have had a message from Wolfie. She so appreciates all of your thoughts and good wishes. Things are not looking too good for her little nephew who sustained a huge brain injury at birth. What to say, just huge compassion, love and support for them all in such an anguishing, heartbreaking situation. Rxxx

    Thanks for the upsdate Roze.  A few years back one of my colleague's son was born and contracted the streptikok(-cock) virus in the birthing canal.  They had no hope of his survival, huge brain damage was predicted etc.  Five years later, many prayers later he is in a normal school and has almost caught up with normal children.  I believe in miracles.  Love Ixox

    How hard this must be.  I still want to hang onto hope for something good to happen - but roze's update sounds so bleak.   It doesn't stop the love flowing out to the baby, his parents and each family member - especially our Wolfie.

     

    I'm, open to a miracle.

    My thoughts and prayers are with mum and the the baby.  I hope they can overcome this massive hurdle.  Being a 7 week prem baby and almost dying myself, I guess my mum would probably like me to say to the mum to be strong and to be brave and that I really hope you can fight through this .

    I am sitting on a hospital bedroom being as quiet as can be, even the tapping on my keyboard seems too loud. The new parents are still sleeping - it was a very long and harrowing day yesterday.

     

    Today is likely to be equally long and harrowing and may be even worse. We will be seeing the consultants when one hands over to the other at 9am and we have so many questions.  As at 11pm last night there had been no change in his condition, and it is clear that most favourable outcome at the moment would be for him to go in his own time.

     

    Yesterday we arranged for him to be christened and I became a godparent for the third time.  You can imagine what that was like - a christening in a cramped neonatal ICU with the flashing and the beeping coming from six very sick babies.

     

    Thank you all for you messages and bricks. They mean so very much.

    Dear Wolfie,

    The feeling of utter helplessness is something I find very distressing, knowing that there is nothing I can do which might change the situation, I don't know how many others feels the same.

     

    But like everyone here, my thoughts are with you and the familly.

     

    Stay strong.

    Hey Wolfie sweetheart

    From all I know of you, you will be a great source of support and strength to your sister and her husband. Just take care of you too. I imagine you may feel emotionally very raw at the moment and yet need to be there for others. Just know you are not alone. We are all thinking of you with much care and affection, love roze xxx

    Hello Wolfie,  Its really good of you to keep us posted - amazing when you thing about it - all of us here waiting with bated breath to hear how a little chap is doing, just two days old.  I take my hat off to you for dropping everything -  house, home, hubby and kids to be with the people whose need for comfort and support is so great at this moment.  I'm sure you have told them that there is a whole bunch of us here hoping for the best.  My thoughts are with you all especially your sister.  Love BB.

    Wolfie,

     

    I am visiting family and just signed on. I wish I was able to get to this sooner.

     

    I am so sorry to hear about your family's situation, if I could take away the pain and sorrow you all are feeling right now I would.

     

    Losing a child is indescribable, but losing a newborn is even more difficult for mothers because they have a special, more personal, bond with the baby. They know them, know the baby's little pre-birth quirks and personality, whereas the rest of the family know the potential person-ness of the newborn. 

     

    There is nothing I can say to ease the loss, but I am thinking of you and your family in this difficult time.

    Hello all and thank you so much for your messages and posts.

     

    The last 24 hours have been very hard and following a conversation with the consultant this morning, we face the next 12 hours in a marginally more positive frame of mind.  Although things are at the gloomy end of the spectrum, occasionally we see a small glimmer of hope. Time will tell...

     

    Today he wet his nappy, got very cross when he was moved and his brain pattern improved marginally - we take all these things as positives.

    Hey Wolfie, and roze, who would have thought a wet nappy could have brought a smile to my face? Life eh! Hoping with my heart this is more than a gliimmer of hope.

    You must be going through a hellish roller coaster ride of hopes and fears right now. Heres promising our hope will help tip the balance if it can. I am pleased you can access this site for all the help and support you need Wolfie. However I hope you forgive and understand my curiosity at this difficult time. I cannot help wondering what typing your thankfully regular updates might look/sound like to others who may not know or understand the support on offer. Do the people know they have people across this wide world thinking of you all - I kinda hope so.

    Not too intrusive I hope but if we now knew the little fighter chaps name I am sure there will be a chorus of echoes winding there way to him

    Sending you all my thoughts and hopes

    Who would have thought that a cross baby with a wet nappy could be a good thing, but it certainly is in this case.

    I do hope the news continues to be positive Wolfie.
