My beautiful son Kaden was born 16 weeks early on 2nd August 2009 weighing 1lb 9oz, and fought for
3 brave days before passing away on 5th August 2009.
I found out I was pregnant in April 2009. It was a far from ideal situation but I knew I wanted to
keep the baby and was prepared to do it alone as a single mum.
Over the next few weeks and months my belly grew and my friends shared in my excitement of becoming
a mum. I had scans at both 10 and 12 weeks and it was amazing to see this tiny baby on the screen.
At 16 weeks I was taken into hospital after having a bleed. I was told I had a subchorionic
haemorrhage or hematoma also known as an sch which is basically a blood clot between the placenta
and the uterine wall. I was told in most cases it dissolves itself by 20 weeks and doesnt cause any
problems. I was told bleeding was actually a good sign as it could be the clot breaking down. I had
two more bleeds over the next couple of weeks but scans showed that the clot was still there and was
actually getting bigger. At 21 weeks I found out that the clot was causing my placenta to peel up at
1 side and I could be in danger of an abruption. I was being closely monitored and scanned twice a
week at this point but luckily the separation didnt get any worse althought the clot was still
getting steadily bigger.
At 22 weeks I started having very painful contractions I was told they were probably just braxton
hicks but went to the hospital just incase being as that I was high risk. I was told I had an
irritable uterus and to go home and rest.
on 1st august I was out having a drink with my friend Rachel when I felt the pains start up again
and decided to go home early. I had a sleepless night where I was in a lot of pain but guessed that
it must have just been caused by the irritable uterus Id been diagnosed with. The following morning
I took painkillers and went to london as I was due to visit my cousin. Id been at her house for 15
minutes when my waters broke. I was terrified and we went straight to the hospital. I was shocked to
find when they examined me that I was already fully dilated (10 cm) and that they couldnt stop my
labour. The blood clot had caused my membranes to rupture early. I was 24 weeks and 5 days
pregnant.
My beautiful son Kaden was born just under 4 hrs later at 1.45pm. He weighed just 1lb 9oz and was
taken straight into NICU. I was able to see him around an hour later and was totally mortified when
I saw his tiny little body wired up to so many different machines. The doctors told me he had about
a 50% chance of survival being born this early. He came thru his 1st nite which was a huge thing for
me and I started to believe there was hope even though he was still struggling.
The following day I was told he had respiratory distress syndrome and his left lung was close to
collapsing where it was so weak. The next day there was more bad news, he had developed a bleed on
his brain. I headed for the hospital as I wanted to have him christened but when I arrived I was
told that the bleed was much more severe than they had first thought and he had suffered a massive
brain haemorrhage. I asked the doctor to tell me honestly what the outlook was and he said that
Kaden was in a lot of pain and that it was only the machines that were keeping him alive.
id said from the day he was born that I didnt want him to suffer and as much as I was desperately
willing him to fight I never wanted him to be in pain so I made the heartbreaking decision to let
him go and be with the angels.
Kaden was taken out of his incubator and off his breathing support and placed in my arms where he
passed away seven minutes later. I had two precious hours with him where I was able to bath and
dress him and hold him and say goodbyes from all the people who I knew loved him. He looked so
peaceful for the first time and I knew he was now at rest.
RIP Kaden Joseph McKenzie. Mummy will never forget you and I hope you watch over me and visit me in
my dreams. always in my thoughts my beautiful baby boy xxxxx
What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.
hi i had the same problems and lost my baby girl march 09 the worst pain ever to loose your baby they are always in your heart they take a peace with them when they goto be our angels thinkng of you xx

FLY BY CELINE DION
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless Journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace all one word
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet.
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly, where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light.
There is a beautiful garden,
In a far away land,
Where God and this sweet angel
Walk hand in hand,
How lucky God is
To have such a treasure
Take care of this angel Lord,
Forever and ever.
My heart & love go out to you all as a family & darling Kaden.

a mummy's thoughts.....
Another day without you..
Just cuts me up inside
These tears that fall like rain..
I can no longer hide
Another day without you..
As I feel so all alone
I really need to hear your voice..
So please come home..
Or phone
Another day without you..
As I think of you with love
You will always be my Angel..
In heaven up above
Another day without you..
The days and nights are long
So please help me get through this pain..
And keep me safe and strong
