Joel Francis was born premature. He tried so hard to stay with us but was just too poorly.
I feel now Joel nanny can add a little more.
Mummy and Daddy had been to visit,it was a Wednesday. we were sitting in the garden when mummy had a
pain. When the next 1 came I suggested to daddy he take mummy home and ring the doctor.
When daddy rang nanny he said all was fine not to worry! i didn't see them the next day.
On the Friday morning i had a message to say you had arrived and was coping. It seems the day before
mummy wasn't well and went to hospital. Things got worse and started to happen. In the night mummy
went into labour, BUT! the hospital didn't have a cot available.
She and daddy were taken to another hospital over 2 hours away.
Grand dad had gone to work so I rang and told him. We decided we would drive down later ready for
visiting.
It was early afternoon when nanny had a call to say you wasn't well and we needed to get to the
hospital if we wanted to see you. We arrived at 7.30pm, i saw mummy for a little while but she had
so many of her own family with her we couldn't stay. So a nurse took us down to SCBU. Daddy was
sitting beside you holding your hand. there were so many wires and machines attached to you, nanny
started to cry because of the bruises on your tiny body!!!!!!!
The nurse said we could stroke your hand but when we did all the machines went of. And so had to
leave you.
Daddy came to us and said things were going wrong. Your little body was shutting down.
The next thing we new the others turned up with mummy and we had to leave yet again.
Daddy found us and said they'd decided to have you christend and was waiting for the chaplain.
It was after 10.30pm when we all stood around your cot and you were christened Joel Francis, i
thought it was going to be benjamin.
Their wasn't anymore we could do so drove home.
When i rang the next day we were told we couldn't come to see you. So nany worried all that time
because she hadn't seen or spoken to daddy.
On the Sunday a nurse rang and said you were worse and to drive to the hospital, and daddy needed
nanny.
You were so sick! and they didn't hold out any hope.
Because so many people were with mummy yet again nanny and grand dad had to come away.
It was late at night when daddy rang to say you'd grown your angel wings.
Baby angel it breaks nanny's heart to think she never got to hold you or kiss you, or give you a
cuddle.
I'm so sorry baby boy, I called you my little soldier.
Nanny and grand dad will never ever forget you.
Sleeping with Jesus.
Floaty kisses sweetheart.

Nanny has made some new friends on GTS and it's cheered her up.
