KEATON MICHAEL KELSALLBorn 28th Feb 2005Died aged 6 weeks 4 days

For one so little you gave us so much. Thank you darling for being part of our lives. This is our story... Keaton was born a healthy baby boy to a loving mom, dad and sister who all adored him. He was exclusively breastfed and in the words of our Health Visitor (HV) ‘continued to thrive’. He was gaining weight at a tremendous rate and in one week he put on 1lb 1oz! He certainly enjoyed his feeds. The day before Keaton died I had taken him to the GP as he had started to vomit following his feeds. The GP was not concerned and said that he was sure that there was nothing wrong with Keaton but for reassurance due to the vomiting he sent us to be given the all clear at our local Paediatric Assessment Unit (PAU). Here again I was told that there was nothing wrong with our baby and was sent home. The following day there was no improvement so I asked my HV if she would come to take a look at Keaton. While waiting for her to arrive Keaton started to cry in a distressed way and was only comforted when I held him close. His breathing became noisy and as soon as the HV arrived she suggested we go back to the PAU. As soon as we arrived a team started to work on Keaton. He very quickly stopped breathing and shortly after his heart also stopped. Even with a team of experts and all the medical equipment and drugs at hand there was nothing that could save our baby and one of the hardest things to come to terms with is there is no reason why. His Smile Though his smile has gone forever and his tiny hand I can not touch I still have so many memories of the one I love so much His memories are my keepsake with which I’ll never part God has him in His safekeeping I have him in my heart. Gone but not forgotten, remembered always with love Mommy Daddy and Big Sister Elise XX
