Anthony Ransom

When we went for our second scan we were told that our baby has water on his brain, straight away I saw through Tonys eyes, he was hurting inside, my heart was hurting too, they referred us to another hospital which has a specialist unit, to find out what was going on. But our appointment wasn't for a week! It was torture. When it came to the day of the appointment, they told us they he had severe ventriculomegaly, and there isn't a known cause for it, its just one of those rare things that happen. They told us that if we were to carry on, and managed to go full term, then he probably wouldn't make it past a few minutes, they suggested inducing me,I was 21 weeks! What a decision to have to make. all the while my heart was breaking, and still does. However eventually we agreed that they would induce me, and they gave me a pill the day before to make sure he was....'sleeping' when he was born(i hate using that other word, sleeping is much better) the journey to the hospital seemed far too quick, i just wanted to go home again, but i knew we had to.
Anthony was born at 17.55 he looked so peacful, we both held him for hours, we wanted to hold him forever and take him home but we knew it wasnt possible.
I kept on making sure he was wrapped in his blanket properly because he felt cold. But then i would realise he doesnt know anyway.
Leaving the hospital without him was the most painful thing we have ever had to do, I could feel a pull, like he was caling me back.
It still breaks our hearts, we miss him so much everyday.
His funeral was so hard too, we helped eachother stay strong. His ashes still stay in my bedroom, and will always stay with us, and his photo and hand-foot prints will always stay under my pillow, where I can look after him. In some way.



We love you so much Anthony.
