View Full Version : Need your thoughts and prayers.
Hiya Peoples,
Not really sure where to start on this, but please bear with me.
As most of you know, i'm pregnant, and it was with triplets. Sadly one of our precious babies stopped growing at 9 weeks, and died, and hard as that is to deal with, we've been dealt another blow, and i guess i just need some support and prayers.
We have been told that one of our babies has a serious illness, which basically means that when he's born he's not going to live very long. We know he's a he because the condition that he has only ever affects boys. We have decided to call him Ciaran. Hi condition means that he can't wee, and therefore he'll go into renal failure, if he's not already there, and his lungs wont develop because he can't wee to produce the amniotic fluid he needs to help them, which means that when he's born he wont be able to breathe, and he'll die soon after birth.
There is a small chance - 0.2% - that the blockage will clear itself, but it's very very unlikely that that will happen.
I guess what i'm asking you guys for...is to send Ciaran all your prayers and thoughts. I've never been one for God or anything, but at the moment i'm willing to give anything a go. I'd even sell my soul to the devil if that was what it'd take to help him live.
I'm sorry that this is such a sad post - but if you could just give me 2 mins of your time, just to pray to whoever your god is...then that would mean the world to me.
Thanks folks.

I think it goes without saying, and I think I speak for everyone here when I say that you and yours will be in our thoughts and prayers at this time!
Take care!

Done it heat and will continue to pray for Ciaran hunny. As you know I have a strong faith and i hope me sharing that with you will help in some small way. I will see our minister tomorrow and will ask him to put out a prayer circle for you. This is where he contacts certain people in our church who will all pray for you at the same time and this is more powerful for us. I will be at church tomorrow on my own so I will spend time in the chapel just for you.
God bless

Heat,
My prayers are with you and your family at this time. May God give Ciaran the strength to fight and keep him safe.
I am at a total loss of anything else to say, I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling at this time.

For all of you...........
I said a prayer for you today
I hope you didn't mind
I asked the Lord to comfort you
and put your tears behind.
I prayed for peace and mercy too
to help you through the day
And for His loving guidance
as He leads you on the way.
You need not walk this path alone
so I prayed He'd hold your hand
and offer you some guidance
in a way you'll understand.
I asked Him for little miracles
and to bless you every day
Keep searching for the Rainbows -
and let Him light your way.

Best Wishes,

I am so truly sorry to read this.
As I asked you some times ago to keep us posted, I didn't even think that something like this could happen.
There's not much I can add to the previous messages, so I'll just shut up.
Do not give up. Ever.
Thanks guys for all your messages of support and love - and for your prayers. I can't begin to express just how much it all means to me and Pat.
Went to Cardiff for a scan yesterday, and things are still looking quite bleak. Ciaran's amniotic sac seems to be shrinking around him, which indicates that he isn't passing any water at all, so i guess we hafta prepare ourselves for the worst. I'm trying to be strong and carry on daily things, but i just feel like i'm going through the motions. Keeyfer and Finlaye have gone to stay at my sisters for a few weeks, just untill we sort our heads out. I feel so guilty about that, that i'm not being a proper mum to them...but at the moment i'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything for very long. I spose i'll get there in the end.
We have to go up to Bristol on monday, to see a hospital consultant up there - i'm not sure what he's going to tell us....more of the same perhaps, but our consultant in Cardiff seems to think that we should see him. Spose it can't hurt.
Anyways guys, just thought i'd say thanks for just being there.....You lot mean the world to me.

:twisted: Heat, i'm so sorry to hear this :cry:
Hopes and prayers for Ciaran, and special (((((hugs))))) for you and Pat.You must be going through hell right now.
Never give up on hope.
When you feel down
and your world seems blue;
Remember,
someone is praying for you.
When the sun seems to dim,
and the day feels untrue;
Remember,
someone is praying for you.
Those hands that come together
in love and care;
Maybe small, smooth, or wrinkled,
but remember they are there.
Each day that's not full of sunshine,
but maybe dread and fear;
Someone is praying
for those they hold dear.
So at night
when you lay your head down for weary
rest;
Humble your heart
and pray for those you love best.
Our hearts are with you Heat and your family that you may find the strength within you............
Heat,
I'm not the most religious man you'll ever meet, but i'll sit at the end of my bed tonight and have a prayer for you and your family

Hi Folks,
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, it's meant so much to Pat and I to know that you are all thinking of us.
Unfortunately the news isn't good. Ciaran is still with us for now, but it has been confirmed that his lungs aren't developing at all, so we know now that we are going to loose him whatever happens.
I haven't been around for a while, because i needed some time to think and take stock. I know whatever happens now Ciaran isn't going to make it, so we've decided that we have to cram in a whole lifetime of love into the few short months we have with our precious son. We are telling him about places he'll never see, but that are important to us, about people he'll never know, but that love him as much as we do. It may sound silly, but i talk to him every day and tell him about everyday mundane things. We play music to him - Meat of course, but Elvis too and other artisits. We want him to know just how loved and wanted he is, and how much he means to us. We feel it's important that he knows that he'll never be forgotten.
I heard his heart beating for the first time today - it was such a magical experience, and i have felt a few flutterings that could well be kicks - but may just have been wind!!!
I'm not sure how often i'll be around over the next few months, but i just want to thank you all once again for all the love and support you've shown us.

Sorry about the news - but what you are doing makes sense - Ciaran will know that he is loved. Talking to him and telling him things will help. I played Meat cds through my personal headset when pregnant with my daughter - she loved it - Ciaran will to.
Take as much time as you need - just don't forget - I'm here if you need me
Love to you - Pat & the boys
I'm thinking about you every day

Heat, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time.
I hope these words will offer some comfort:
God gave the most precious gift to me
As He did so he whispered so tenderly
"This child I give you is not yours to keep
When I call him home, please do not weep.
For I will take him by the hand, across my bridge of love
Together we will fly to my Golden Gates above
Where he can play in the sand, as soft as a sigh
The sun will always shine on him, in a summer blue sky
His playmates will be Angels with gossamer wings
His own spiritual mother, a sweet lullaby sings
I'll welcome home, this child, so precious in my sight
He'll be safe at last, a child of Gods light.
So do not grieve when the time comes
He's forever in my care
Behind Heavens Doorway
He'll wait for you there”
