This is horrible bg. A parent's worst nightmare.

I'll definitely keep your family's friends in my thoughts.

That's what I was thinking too. A parent's worst nightmare. I don't even like thinking it.

Life goes on, but these families will never be the same again.

A very good friend of my son's (like a brother, really) became a father about 2 months ago. He and his wife were parents of a beautiful little boy.

Last evening they lost their precious boy. He had a brain aneurysm yesterday afternoon, and passed away in their arms. This afternoon, my son came to me, in tears, to tell me the news. He and this young man grew up together, from the time they were toddlers.

I am at a loss for words. My heart is breaking for them, all of them. This little guy was the first grandchild on both sides of the family.

It is very very sad.

The words aren't up to the feelings, bg. I'm so sorry to read this.

Thanks, EJ and ed. Makes me want to go hug my grown-up babies.

BG, I tend to pop in and out of HT but I hope you don't mind a stranger letting you know this has affected me deeply. Losing a child ... "unbearable" is the word that comes to my mind. Will keep the family, your son and you in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't express how saddened I was by this bobsgirl, it must be near to unbearable for everybody, how is your son taking it?

BG, I can't imagine the depth of loss. to all of the families and friends of this tiny new angel.

He was at the hospital with the families. They treat him as their "fourth son" in a lot of ways. He was very shaken. I just held him while he cried. Broke my heart.

I told him I would go to the funeral with him.

 

[Verbiwhore]

My heart goes out to you all.

 

[bobsgirl]

My heart goes out to you all.

Thank you.

I think we all know the fear that the thought of this happening to one of our own brings, I cannot imagine the depths of despair they are going through.
I hope they all find peace.

haven't seen quoll around in a long while... anyone heard anything?

 

[silverwhisper]

Hi honey,
I'm home.​

The Quoll cubs took a break this weekend from travelling, the eldest had a sleepover birthday party to go to, apparently he had a good time as he is staying another night, while the youngest ( at the moment ) spent yesterday with his aunt and then stayed the night at friends who have an X box, cooooool ( his words).

All in all it was a good weekend for everyone, the kids got to be kids and Possy and I had time for just us, and I had plenty of me time as well.
Apart from going a little stir crazy (and missng the kids and home and her bed and me and...) she is holding up well.
Her markers for infection have dropped considerably and they will possibly stop the antibiotics in a few days, as most women will know this is a good thing, as antibiotics and a certain itchyness often go hand in hand.
Her white blood cell count is normal, so even though there is still some bleeding it is not causing any major problems. Baby is quite content and growing well, although I suspect it will have an aversion to cold, as the nurses get Poss to drink ice water to wake the baby up if they think it has been quiet for too long.
There has been comment made that if they can stay together until 34 weeks (31 1/2 at present ) they will consider sending her back to the hospital here.
Hope springs eternal but I know how many different answers we have already had.
Not much news I know, but positive news anyway.

Sounds promising. You and your family continue to be in my thoughts.
