About me

hello i am a mum of 2 boys jack who is nearly 6 and charlie who is 15 months, charlie had severe cerebal palsy and ohtaharras syndrome , charlie passed away on the 29th november 2009 after proving them wrong so many times.

Charlie shouldnt of been put through all the pain from the start,it all started from me being in labour where the monitor wasnt working so was told to just wiggle the wires its a bit temperemental so charlies heart rate being fast from 9.30pm untill 11.30pm because the monitor didnt work theydidnt notice, When he was born he wasnt doing anything he started fitting at3 hours old.
Charlie was transferred to intensive care but on the way the ambulance broke down and was stuck at the side of the road for 4 hours, I honestly think something happened in the ambulance.
I am so angry at what they have put charlie through, all the pain and put us through as a family and have realised that this happens quite alot

THESE SHOES

I wear a pair of shoes
They are ugly shoes
Uncomfortable shoes
I hate my shoes
Each day I wear them and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step
Yet, I continue to wear them
I get funny looks wearing these shoes
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not their's
They never talk about my shoes
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some women are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt
No woman deserves to wear these shoes
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.


You are always in my thoughts, love Zoe xxx

Hi there Katrina.

Thanks for your message. Sorry to hear you lost your son Charlie. Im sure he is waiting for you in heaven. I cant beleive how many people on here have lost children which is hard enough but at the hands of a terrible hospital blunder is just so wrong. In this day and age it just shouldnt happen. It is nice to talk to someone who shares a similar experiance. You can understand the extreme anger and hatred towards the NHS I feel. We need to speak out, If I can stop it happening to just one other person by telling my story then it almost makes it worth all the pain and suffering.

Wishing you all the best.

Keep in touch x x x
