July 2017 was the beginning of the worst period of time in our lives, during a routine gender scan the look on the nurses face said it all, there was a problem........and so after many appointments and meetings we received the news that no one would ever ever want to hear, our little baby wasn’t going to survive.  He was diagnosed with potters syndrome, the symptoms are that the babies kidneys do not form so no fluid is produced, this lack of fluid in side and outside of the baby means that his lungs do not form properly and are too small to susutain life.  We carried this news from 18 weeks all the way to his birth which to be honest was so so hard  

Our Charlie was born on 27/11/2017 he stayed with us for as long as he could, it was only about 40 minutes, he even managed to give us a few cry’s so we could at least have a bit of a chat with him , the time we had with him was so so short our only way of taking as  much from that time was the memory box he was given, the midwives at the hospital were amazing, we took prints of his hands and feet many many photographs the boxes that are provided are invaluable in our opinion and that is why we want to raise money to keep this fantastic service going.  In the darkest of times sometimes the smallest chink of light means the world, it means even when your little one can’t come home with you, you can take those precious memories with you, which we think is something everyone should have to hold and cherish
