RE: how can i understand why our 4 week old baby died
Hi hunni,
Iknow how you feel when you lose them without warning, its been almost 6 months since we lost my grandson Mikey and we still have no cause of death (still awaiting inquest) . Shock and grief mixed together can be awful to deal with, and i'm not going to promise you that it gets easier with time, our lives will never be the same without him as yours won't be without Lilymai. You will have good days and bad days and i look back and remember every single moment i had with Mikey, he's always with me in my heart as LilyMai will be in yours xxxx Anytime you need to talk i'll be herexx

RE. how can i understand why our 4 week old baby died
First of all, may I say how very sorry I am for your precious loss. There are no words to describe the pain we have both felt.
I sadly lost my baby Son, Daniel, last July. He was just 5 weeks and 4 days old. It was very sudden.
Daniel was born with a condition known as 'Duplex Kidneys' and at 1 week old he developed a UTI, but was treated in hospital for one week with anti-biotics.
We thought he had been cleared of all infection; but the infection had actually traveled to Daniel's heart valves and severely damaged them. (we were not aware of this until after he had passed.
On the day Daniel passed (26th July 2011) he was taken to hospital in the morning because he had been vomiting and had diarrhea. The Dr's discharged him as 'fine' but later that day I was panicked and rang another ambulance. Daniel was making an awful screaming cry and tensing his body up like a seizure. Also his eyes had changed (one pupil very large and the other a pin-prick)
The Dr's and nurses were working on Daniel but his heart stopped and even after 13 shots of adrenaline, he tragically never regained consciousness.
Daniel grew his little wings at 9:00pm.
I can truly understand the feeling of being in complete shock and heart broken. I was in total shock for so long (it actually quite scared me that I was being too calm) but it all hit me at once.
Any age of a child passing away, is tragic.
If you ever need someone to talk to, please do message me.
I check this site almost every day.
Sending you loving prayers xx
