His Life
November 28, 2011

Our Precious Child Zane, was born on the 19th March 2010
it was the scariest time for my partner Jason and myself.Zane was born at 25 weeks due to my pre-eclampsia.He was not getting enough oxygen to survive, inside me so i was given a C -section and Zane was rushed straight to the NCIU. You were only 500 grams and 26 cm when you were born, and you fitted perfectly into the palm of my hand.We were so proud of you, you were all ours so perfect, all your fingers and toes. You were just starting to flourish, when everything went wrong. Firstly you contracted NEC Necrotising Entercolitis. You had 50 per cent of your bowel removed. We had you baptized
by a Nun and all the operating staff were blessed. They operated right there in the NCIU on Saturday Night. On Sunday you seemed a little better again But by Monday things were not looking good. You were one hell of a little fighter Zane. By Monday night things looked even worse. By Tuesday we both knew that this was it. On Tuesday morning we looked in on our little monkey as soon as we got up and he was just not the same. Zane had had a massive stroke that morning. rang my family and asked those who could be there if they would like to come. The Doctors called all the family together and said Zane machine needs to be turned off. It hurt so so much but we agreed, Zane was brought into the room we were staying in at the Hospital, His machines all off only the nurse pumping him manually that was removed and he was given to us. Zane only lasted but a few minutes before he passed away in our arms. All the family who had come got to hold him and took photos. This is our first time this has happened to us and we wish we had been more prepared and taken heaps more photos, asked for everything he had on and laid on that day. That it thats all you've got a few photos but not really any good ones, without plugs and ventilators and machines beeping. Its just so hard for parents of micro preemies to have all those beautiful photos like other babies. It would have been great if they had had a professional photographer that they called in for times when they knew parents would be going through all this. The last thing we thought about was a camera.when we were so worried for the health of our child.Our beautiful little monkey passed away on May 4th the worst day of our lives. Your funeral was held on May 19th. It was so sad but also very beautiful, because we all had got to have many holds and wash him and dress him at the funeral parlor. We loved going in and holding you and talking to you as you do not get to do all those things very often when you have preemies. Everybody that had been a part of your life or would have wanted to be there. You were so loved Zane.

Those we have held in our arms for a little while we hold in our hearts for a lifetime.We love your now and forever. Mummy, Daddy, and your big brother Jarred xxxxxxxxxxxxx
