LIVVY, WE LOVE YOU
*•.¸☆ ¸.•*´☆¸.•*´☆ ´*☆
Our beautiful daughter Olivia Rose Hoon was born on 9th January 2007 at only 25 weeks gestation and
weighing only 1lb 13oz (0.82kg) We were expecting her to come on 20th April 2007!!
Livvy as our daughter soon became did really well for the first couple of days then nearly died and
was transfered to the Jessop wing neonatal hospital for osillation ventilation which seemed to do
the trick but she got a very bad infection and subsequently her O2 requirement went up to 100% we
spent a few weeks fighting off infections and having numerous blood transfusions (daily at one
point) She also had a large duct in her heart and surgery was discussed daily. She went on a drugs
trial to help her with one of the infections and some days did well and other days would just drop
her SATS and her heartrate and the crash team would come. She also underwent a course of nitric gas
straight into her lungs to help her and eventually had steroids to try and get her of the ventilator
as the pressures Livvy was needing were very high and damaging her lungs. After a very rocky couple
of months (me living at the hospital) Livvy was transfered back to Chesterfield Royal hospital (I
could go home) and slowly Livvy seemed to make good progress (although we did have several Livvy
style hiccups where we nearly lost her).
We started to enjoy all the normal family things like dressing Livvy and Bathing her, she even
started to take her milk through a bottle (Stubbornly refusing to give up her wind easily). We used
to tuck Livvy up in the pram and go for walks around the hospital grounds and play for hours with
her toys. She even had a little taster of some baby food!!
My husband and i then spent 5 days at the hospital in our own little flat to see if we could cope
with looking after her on our own as she was very oxygen dependant. We loved it, it was great,
almost like been a normal family. The hospital were so happy they decided Livvy could come home.(6
months old)
We only had a precious 2 days at home before i thought Olivia didnt look good so we rushed back to
the hospital. Livvy's O2 requirement went up so much in the next couple of hours i couldnt
understand what was happening (It more than doubled). They put her back on Cpap and we waited for
the transport team to come and transfer her to the Sheffield Childrens hospital. Livvy had an up and
down time for the next 3 months, including an op to look inside her lungs. but slowly she just
couldnt fight any longer, her lungs just didnt grow quick enough for her body. We (her mummy and
daddy) stayed up all night just cuddling her and telling her how much we loved her and how proud we
were of the fight for life she had shown while she slowly slipped away.
We had our daughter buried in an adult plot so we could be reunited with her one day. She was buried
in a pink coffin wearing a special new dress and cuddling her favourite teddy bear.
Mummy and daddy miss you so much but we are for ever grateful for the 9 months of precious memories
you gave us. x x x x x x x

This Tribute Is For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Lit Again As Usual For Monday
LITTLE ANGELS
When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
With the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
And so He takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult,
Still somehow we must try.
The saddest word that mankind knows
Will always be 'goodbye'.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realise God loves children
Angels are hard to find.
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord Please pick one for me.
Place it in my Loved ones hand
And tell them it's from me.
Tell them that I love them
And when they turn to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheek
And hold them for a while.
Remembering them is easy,
I do it every day.
But there's an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

He only takes the best.

Common Bond
We have a common bond
A silver lining that binds each heart
It unites us in the end and teaches a brand new start
We've each experienced heartbreak
Like a rushing river's flow
We've felt such tears of sorrow
And we become afraid to just let go
Overwhelmed by such grief
That reveal great aches in our soul
Wondering why love hurts so much
As we loose our sense of whole
Our sunny days become cloudy
Our nights bring on a chill
We pray for a bright tomorrow
As we try to just get over that hill
We try to stay busy
Busy enough to forget our pain
And put that simile upon our face
And wonder if we're insane
We understand each other
Without ever saying a word
And with one small touch
We know that we were heard
I'm grateful you have a loving family
In whom you can rely
I'm happy you have someone
To hold you when you cry
I'm grateful to the Lord
That in His love we can depend
And I pray for each of you daily
That your hearts will truly mend
Although our lives have changed
And the pain will some what subside
I'm truly greateful for this group
With hugs and support to be your guide
This thread that binds our hearts
A bond that will not fray
I thank you all for sharing
In your special way
My words so small I give as a gift
To this group so proud and strong
But remember when all is said and done
God bless you all life long.
