Terry Forster

Terry was born on 05/07/2007 by emergency c-section sadly my precious son went to play with the
angels just 12hrs and 57 mins later on 06/07/2007 he lived in west bromwich with his mom dad and
his 5 big sisters chantelle (10yrs) nicole (8yrs) megan (5yrs) leah and bethany (2 yrs).
Terry was born 13 weeks premature and weighed only 1lb 6oz however he was perfect and this was not
the reason for his death all i knew the night he was dying was he had a bleed some where in his
tummy because that is all the doctors had told me. At 01:03 my son fell asleep for ever and became
the most brightest of stars ever that is the saddest day of my life the nurse who looked after us at
the hospital was very caring her name was norma she was the best along with louise who had stayed
passed her finish time to look after my son as he was so poorly and also came with us to the chapel
of rest to say goodbye to him. I agreed to a post mortom because i wanted to know why my much
longed for son had died anyway i found out after 19 long hard waiting weeks that my son had died
from a subcaptual haematoma of the liver (ruptured liver) basicly someone/or some how made my sons
liver bleed. Then from requestng his medical notes i have now found out not only did this happen to
him but he was ventilated with the wrong size tube it was to small to help him his umbilical lines
were in the wrong positions he had a collapsed lung and no-one informed me of this and his liver
rupture was not picked up quickly enuff and if it was he could have possibly survived how can this
happen in todays world is all i can think of but im not stupid i know things like this happen but
you never think it will happen to you or someone close to you. My bright star was burried on
30/07/2007 and even though only my sisters and my other half saw him alive there was loads of ppl at
his funeral which im glad of now at the time i didnt understand why so many ppl wanted to come they
didnt know him they didnt even see Terry so why would they wanna come i also couldnt see any point
in giving my baby a name i gave this task to his dad (robert) and Terry was named after the chelsea
football player John Terry. since our baby was taken from us it doesnt get any easyer well not for
me any way i havent realy slept properly since Terry died i either think i see him or ear him cry i
have been trawling the internet for some information on ruptured livers in the neonate but cant seem
to find anythink so if any of you out there can email me the details please only the doctors who
were treating my son have told me that it was just \\\'bad luck\\\' this happend but i cant accept
that there must be a reason why his liver ruptured.

i still realy miss you son i know you are safe with nanna king she will look after you for me untill
we meet again big hugs and kisses off me daddy and your sisters see ya soon xxxxxxxxxxx

just a message to every one who has lit a candle or left a message

thanks so very much means alot to me

04/11/2008 today was ur inquest hunny i had hoped to get some answers has to why this happened to u
but im still none the wiser now the coroner has ruled that in his view nothing could have been done
to save u but still he didnt no how ur liver became ruptured. well we all no babe so we will have to
soldier on drawing extra strengh from our memories of u to keep going when the civil case comes to
court hun maybe then the truth will come out because the inquest for me didnt cover all aspects
which should have been covered. mommy and daddy are very upset we feel that after waiting for 15
months and 29 days we are still none the wiser as to why ur life was ended due to liver rupture, i
cannot accept that 'it just did' thats no answer to me everything happens for a reason and all i can
promise u terry is that i will fight them all the way to get the answers that i need and want even
if it takes me till the day i die and get to be with u i will keep fighting for the truth
i love u always will
