After 8 and a half months of a happy 'normal' pregnancy, I spent the 30th of November 2007 worried because Keelan had not moved once. He was an extremely active baby, he would kick all the time except when family members wanted to feel him. I didn't look pregnant until about 2 weeks before this as the weight just appeared. (I'd been healthy and eating properly)
I had an appointment with my doctor in the afternoon and attended as normal, it was here that I was advised to go to the hospital as they could find no heartbeat and when they eventually did it was really faint. They said the lack of movement was normal as he would be sleeping. This was not right as he moved from the minute I woke up to the minute I went to bed.
I was admitted to hospital at 3pm and was transferred to a delivery suite at midnight. Throughout the time I was in the hospital I was attached to machines monitoring Keelan's heartbeat or rather lack of. He still hadn't moved but the midwives didn't seem concerned. They just kept telling me he was sleeping. My labour was going really well (although slow), I wasn't in any pain until lunch time on the 1st of december. At this point I was given gas and air which helped. Keelan still hadn't made much movement, although he was in the correct position.
It seemed to go down hill from there though. I was then given 2 epidurals (the first fell out) and then an injection of pethidine. Nothing was working. By 5pm on the 1st Keelan's head and shoulders had been delivered and a midwife was telling me she thought he'd arrive in the next 5 minutes. At 5.25pm I was transferred to theatre where Keelan was delivered by C-section.
He wasn't breathing and had major problems with his abdomen. The doctors said that he'd already grown his wings and they wouldn't be giving him oxygen. At this point he took the tiniest breath and so they proceeded with giving him some help. In the early hours of December 2nd, Keelan was transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
At Great Ormond Street Keelan was given various tests and operations in the 3 days that he was there. He grew his little wings on the 5th of December, after I made the heart breaking decision to turn off his life support.
I made this decision because I was told that as a result of his large abdominal mass most of his internal organs were under developed and currently failing. Due to a lack of oxygen during my labour he was severely brain damaged.
I was told that even if his heart and the other organs started to function he would have no quality of life. He would not be able to talk, walk, control any bodily functions. He wouldn't even see that I was his mummy. I was also told he may die within hours or days and that he could go when I wasn't around to see him.
It killed me to lose him after wanting him more than anything else in the world.
Keelan was kept a secret from most of our family until 4 weeks before his birth. This wasn't intentional it just kind of happened. Although kept a secret from alot of people his arrival was eagerly awaited.
He leaves behind his Mummy, Nana, Grandad and Uncle Paul, also a very large extended family.
He sits in the clouds with all his Angel friends dropping feathers from his special wings.
Loving him always and forever till its my time to fly,
Mummy xxxxxxxxxxx

"Remember Me" (song by Deanna Edwards)
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

All my love Sylvie
Happy 4th Birthday my gorgeous little boy, I'm sorry I've not been here to write to you for a very long time. I've never forgotten you, its just I found it very hard to know what to say. I see you often in my dreams, and hate when I have to wake up. So much is happening here, and I don't know what to do. I wish you were here. I miss you so much. Lots of love baby boy, Mummy xxxxxxxxxxxx
Don't weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I'm waiting for thee.
Merry Christmas sweetheart x x x

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Keelan "
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Son of yours.

But Bloom in heaven
