Lucas was born at 28weeks +1 day,weighing 2lbs 14ozs.On 15th June 2008 at 22.37 & died at 5.57am 16th June from pulmonary hypoplasia(under developed lungs)
After my pregnancy on my 1st child Sophie went so well i was really looking forward to my 2nd pregnancy, but from quite early on i had the extra worry with crampy pains & bleeding from around 12 wks.
Then at 19+1 day i suffered premature rupture of the membranes, that night we were told the devastating news that our baby had a very little chance of surviving as i would probably go into premature labour within the next 24hrs & they would not help or revive a baby born before 24wks, we were inconsolable, worried & frightened for this precious life inside me!! i was given antibiotics over the next week & defied all the odds & continued to carry my baby for 9 more weeks, those 9 weeks seemed like an eternity as we lived for each new day as it would give our boy a better chance of surviving...he proved he was a little fighter & we prayed daily for a happy outcome.During those weeks i continued to pass fluid and had many trips to the delivery suite because i was having mild contractions, we were also prepped for the nicu as the doctors were pretty sure i would deliver soon.I also had a number of scans to check his lungs & had a biophysical scan with the head sonographer of the hospital & each time i was told that his lungs had passed fluid & looked "normal" how wrong they were...
On the 14th of June i began to have mild contractions & was brought to the delivery suite & given pethedine which stopped them. Then the next day at the exact same time as the night before i began having contractions again but this time they were much worse the doctor checked & said i was 3cm dialated, Lucas was breeched & because the was no fluid i had to have a c-section. Lucas was delivered at 10.37 i was exhausted but soo happy my little boy was here after all we had been through he made it,we seen him for a moment & he was whisked away. Over the next few hours the mid-wives would pop in & out saying they hadn't got a picture because they were still "working" on him, we didnt think for a moment anything was wrong this was all new to us we didnt know what to expect. We decided it was best for Phillip to go home & come bk 1st thing in the morning, but about 20mins after he left two specialists from the nicu came in & told me that they had done all they could but they could just not get oxygen into his lungs or body....I was so confused all i can think is that i was in shock, while i waited for Phillip to come bk his heart stopped beating & they revived him so that we could be with him...we sat holding him with all this madness surrounding us!!its is hard to put into words what that time was like i had soo much love for my precious son i wished it was all just a horrible dream & someone would wake me up!! He died in our arms at 5.57am....It is the worst pain i have ever known in my life our beautiful boy is gone, he is an "angel" i will never understand or accept it & will continue to ask why but to no avail!! we are eternally grateful to have had him for such a short time but if only we could have a moment more, one more hug, one more kiss....
Sophie has so much love for her brother & is very protective of him!! she understands as much as a 3yr old can & always talks about him, her little angel Lucas.
I Love my son dearly & would do anything to have him back, everyone around us has been touched by his short life. He is beautiful & so special to us & our family & friends.he is always in my thoughts & forever in my heart with every waking moment!! x x x x

The Cord

We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.

This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.

I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.

The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.

I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

I heard you crying yesterday
And felt your heart-sent love
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.

You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here)
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
♥*•.♥*•.⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱.♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱
God planned a special day for me
He told me with a wink
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think)

I’m getting lots of hugs from God
He’s really good at that
And every time that I walk by
He gives my head a pat
♥*•.♥*•.⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱.♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱
Balloons will fill the streets for me
They float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here
That make us laugh out loud

There is a birthday carousel
Jeweled horses ride the wind
With music playing oh so sweet…
The magic never ends
♥*•.♥*•.⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱.♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings

We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts, surprise!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies
♥*•.♥*•.⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱.♥*•.♥*•⊰✲⊱⊰✲⊱

Today is my birthday
Celebrate my life with you
And remember the good times
Forget the bad.
Look up towards the sun
And catch every ray of light
Upon your cheek.
For I am there with you.
Today is my birthday,
Be happy for me.
My life was full.
I had the pleasure of love
And the joy of my family.
Do not be sad
Look up towards the stars
And catch each twinkle
In your heart.
For I am there with you

My legacy is you and your life.
Spend it wisely and carefully,
Guard it always.
Do not be sad.
Feel the wind on your face
And in your hair
And know that I loved you
For I am there with you in your laughter
And in your hearts.

Feel all life's treasures and
Know that you are alive!
At each step of the way
I will help you
For I am with you always
Until we meet again.
Today is my birthday...
unknown all my love
