Adam Driver
Born by emergency section on 23.12.07 and died 5 hours 20 mins later at warrington hospitals
special care baby unit
mummy and daddy - tracy and paul driver
sisters charlotte kiernan and sara driver
brother martyn driver
It was just eight weeks into my pregnancy with you that things started to go wrong. I started to
bleed and had a scan to find out what was going on. They found that I had a large haemorage in my
uterus and that my fluid levels were low. By 13 weeks the fluid had just disappeared completely. I
went through three painful amnio infusions to try to help you, but was told at 20 weeks your lungs
looked small and were likely to be damaged. We were told that you had less than 10%chance of living
but we had to give you that little chance - a decsion that I will never regret. You were so squashed
up that on scans we just couldnt see you properly at all. We were told at one scan that your little
foot didnt look right but like the rest of your little body it turned out to be just perfect.
At 27 weeks you just decided that you had had enough and wanted to meet us. It was a very scary time
for us as we were rushed to theatre as your cord had started to deliver first. You was born by
emergency section at 10.55 am. we first got to see you at 11.30am when you were wheeled past in your
little incubator to special care. I wasnt worried that I didnt get to hold you as I was just
relieved you were alive. The baby doctor told us that you were very poorly, but me and daddy never
gave up hope. We came to see you in special care you looked so tiny, although you were almost 3lb so
not as tiny as you could have been. I got to have cuddles with you and lots of your family came to
see you for the first time. Sadly it just wasnt meant to be, your little lungs were just too tiny
and they burst with the high pressures of oxygen and you also had a cardiac arrest. I decided with
daddy that it just wasnt fair to put you through so much pain. Your life support was switched off
and you died peacefully soon after in mummys arms. You stayed with us over night and the next day,
lots of people came to see you and gave you lots of cuddles. You were picked up by a nice man Robert
(the undertaker) on xmas eve, he took you away in a moses basket. It was very sad but I knew he
would look after you. Daddy arranged your funeral for new years eve. Mummy daddy and charlotte came
to see you in your little white coffin the day before. You were dressed in the clothes Daddy had
bought you - you looked so cosy just like you were fast asleep. Daddy carried your coffin at your
funeral, as we came in to church away in a manger was playing. We didnt have any flowers for you
except the ones off me and daddy, but all our friends and family donated money which we gave to the
special care baby unit as a thankyou for looking after you and to help other little babies like
you.
We love you always Mummy and Daddy xx
Best Wishes
The picyure of you being gently bathed made me cry, i never got to bathe my little man and i so wanted to.
You came into this world pure and went out pure too, surrounded by love and loved evermore.

hello adam
today i went to a memorial service for baby angels. your name and date were read out. jordan wrote a card for you which was tied to a flower, then she took it up to the front for you.
thinking of u and mummy
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wow
First of all I would like to say Tracy you are amazing. To give your son the fighting chance you did I cried my eyes out when I read the eulogy you are a truly remarkable mum sweetie. I could never begin to imagine how hard it would have been for you and your husband to make the decision to have the machines turned off but you did what you both felt what was right you are truly an amazing person. The love you both had for your precious boy is second to none little Adam is certainly something special to you, your hubby and your families. And certainly a little boy that had he survived would have had all the love in the world.
God Bless you little baby angel. I know that your Mummy and Daddy love and miss you so much. Stay close to them both.
Cassy x
Ask My Mum How She Is
================
My Mum she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before,
But from now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mum how she is,
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie,
Because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mum How she is,
She'll say 'I'm alright'
If that's the truth, then tell me,
Why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mum how she is,
She seems to cope so well,
She didn't have a choice you see,
Nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mum how she is,
'I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping'
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine,
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.
I am here in Heaven,
I cannot hug from here,
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold,
I'll say 'You're lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told!'
It is true what is often said, that out of bad there is always some good.
You and i have become good friends Tracy out of the losses of our precious children and you are a source of great support to me as i hope i am to you, we understand eachothers losses completely and i hope we will remain friends forever.
God bless little Adam angel, you were too precious for this world, Love from Gemma xxxx
Your not alone
I am so very sorry to here about Adam Tracy, so very sad. The pictures displayed on Adam's gallery are so very important for you to have. I lost my baby when I was 17 weeks pregnant in August 2006, we named her Holly. The loss is tremendous but each loss leaves a different gift for us to carry with us throughout our lives, treasure that gift. My thoughts are with you and your family. May you always be safe now Adam. Blessed Be x

a message from you angel
I Walk With You Mummy
I walk with you my mummy dear,
I'm always with you, always near.
Just look behind as steps you take,
And see my footprints that I make.
They're in your heart when you're asleep,
You feel me kicking when you weep?
I walk with you when you are sad,
But I am happiest when you're glad.
I'm never far away from you,
I'm here in everything you do.
I walk with you if you're in pain,
I steady and help you up again.
And when on earth God calls you high,
I'll light the way mummy, to His sky.
God says I'm a gift mum, purer than gold,
He sent me to love you until you grow old.
You're blessed with an angel from Him above,
You gave me life, and we give you love.
I walk with you for eternity,
I am your angel, mummy look at me!
GOD BLESS
O precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to me
So perfect, pure and innocent
Just as you were meant to be
We dreamed of you and of your life
And all that it would be
We waited and longed for you to come
And join our family
We never had the chance to play
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle
We long to hold you, touch you now
And listen to you giggle
I'll always be your mother
He'll always be your dad
You will always be our child
The child that we had
But now you're gone....but yet you're here
We'll sense you everywhere
You are our sorrow and our joy
There's love in every tear
Just know our love goes deep and strong
We'll forget you never-
The child we had, but never had
And yet will have forever.
