Reposting this from my July Bumps thread to update you all as Kelly was able to come on and post today:

Evan Alexander
Born 20th May 2011 by Emergancy crash c-section following complete placental abrubtion at 5.04pm
4lbs 6oz of pure perfection

I felt one tiny pain and a gush of blood, it all happened so quick, no warning signs at all. The consultant delivered him in 4 minutes but he was starved of oxygen, it took 20 minutes to get his heart beating. He was transferred for specialist care the following morning but it isn't good news. He is badly brain damaged and making no attemps to breath for himself.

He's being taken out of sedation today so his brain can be assesed but so far he isn't moving at all, not responding to any stimuli or breathing on his own.

I don't know what to say, i'm still in shock, my baby boy isn't going to survive. I don't know how long i have with him but it will be days, no longer. I've held him and changed his nappies, hes the most beautiful boy i've ever seen, looks like his sister.

I am beyond devastated but trying to hold it together so i remember the time i did get with him.

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers, it means a lot to know he's in everyones minds. Thankyou for the candles, i've seen them all and it was a lovely idea.

I am staying in hospital with Evan but i will try to put his picture on before i go back, he's beautiful. I will update when i can, thankyou everyone for your support and i hope everyone is doing well xx
