Story of our boy, Kayden 😫
Myself & Jay were expecting a boy due 27th October 2023.. but an unexpected thing happened, and he was born at 28 weeks, with unexpected bleed where the placenta came away! And so kyla bled alot.. and our boy of joy was born!! She was rushed into hospital, put to sleep and had emergency C - section. Where then kayden was born with no pulse / heart rate.. they brought him back by resuscitation 18 mins they managed to get a pulse.. after 30 mins he was then put onto a ventilator.. his brain starved from oxygen for 30 minutes caused himself to have brain injury.. Later that day kayden was transferred to Southmead hospital, with ongoing treatment.. so a few days went by then Saturday he had a bleed on the brain.. causing kayden to have more brain damage, then what it already was of course from the lack of oxygen.. so they did and MRI HEAD SCAN.. and his results come back with showing kayden’s brain severely damaged with Grade 3 on the right and Grade 4 on the left.. (Really Bad)..
So days went on with treatment and spending 2 and abit months in Bristol kayden came of the ventilator, breaking so much himself, but then had support with his oxygen on a high flow machine.. then sent pressure to keep his lungs open… and oxygen as in when he was requiring it.. then we had a call he was so stable they thought it’s best to move kayden back to Taunton…. (MUSGROVE) 😢
So he’s been in Taunton for a while now, taking each day as it come hoping our poor boy would just keep fighting and get better ❤️‍🩹 then he kept haven’t more infections causing our boy pain, so he went on some antibiotics.. so left fighting his way through the infections.. (chest) (lungs)
Till only recently myself & kyla had a phone call from the hospital saying our boy is really really poorly 😷 and so they done some tests and he had an infection on his chest.. and so pain relief was given and so was antibiotics… his infection marker rate was at 164.. not good so we seen our boy struggling…. Of course no one wants to see there baby son/daughter like this, so we look at a end of life care plan, where the hospice and the palliative Care team will get involved… This is the worst ever feeling to be going though, and can’t stop thinking about our boy.. So recently kayden has been getting seizures and fairly long ones and had the medication to treat these seizures and still on going, and was needing extra support with oxygen blowing into his face!! Through the night last night he needed the help with a bag and mask from the nurses to keep him here!! Thursday night we had to decide whether to let him go or carry on was the hardest decision we ever had to make we had so many time where we was told our boy isn’t gonna make it that we have to let him go! That he wouldn’t do this and that but proved everyone wrong
He was doing so well and was getting better everyday we was told so many time our boy will be coming home then next minute he wouldn’t was so hard and was told this week we would be taking him home that we could take him home on Saturday for the day bc our boy was doing well breathing without oxygen till the next day he went down hill fast 💔 so we chose what was best for our boy and to finally let him rest because he was getting so tired and was told what he’s future would look like and wasn’t a way for someone to live so we was then transferred to hospice in Bristol where we enjoy the last our boys life!! 😫Didn’t go as we expected we laid in bed with him for the whole day our poor boy was fighting for nearly 12 hours struggling to breath was awful to watch 💔 but he kept fighting it and wasn’t ready to let go till 10.37 he was in he’s mummy arms and decided it was time to go 😭 he was very tired and is now at peace
Rest in peace my angel 👼 Daddy & Mummy will always be thinking of you!
