OUR STORY

I found out i was pregnant in Feb 2008 Athough we did not plan our pregnancy, we were really excited
and used to talk about our baby all the time.

At our 20wk scan we found out we were having a little girl, along with the devastating news that our
baby had "a growth" at the bottom of her spine.
We were transfered to St Mary's hospital in manchester, where our consultant confirmed our worst
fears, Our little girl had a "Sacrococcygeal Teratoma" the most common tumor in babies, It affects 1
in 35,000 babies.

The tumor was growing at aprox 1cm a week, and we were told our little girl was coping fine and
would have an operation after birth, we were booked in for a section on Tuesday 7th October at
37wks.

We had painted the nursery, put the cot up, filled her wardrobe to the brim with clothes and set the
pram up for her arrival, we couldn't wait! We used to talk about what she would look like, would she
have dark hair like her Daddy? would it be curly like mummy?
Every night at bed time we would spend half an hour talking to her, she always knew when Daddy was
there, the first time she ever kicked was for him, on his birthday, then after that everytime he
spoke she would start wriggling around, She was a daddy's girl already. We felt like we knew her
already, and loved her more than anything.

I went into hospital on Monday 6th October, ready for my section the next day, but when the midwife
monitored me, our babies heartbeat was poor and my blood pressure was high so they decided to do the
section straight away.

Evie Grace Francessca Best was born 6/10/2008 at 11.14pm, she never cried and was taken away because
she wasn't breathing properly.I didn't even get to see her!

Everything is a little blured from there but at around 2.00am the doctors came and told us that our
baby girl, was very poorly, her tumor had been bigger than expected and had ruptured, Evie needed
surgery to stop the bleeding but doctors didn't know if she would make it.
That's the first time we saw our beautiful little girl, she was absolutely perfect with daddy's dark
hair and Mummy's curls. Then we had to leave.

At 4.00am the doctors came back to see us and broke the devastating news that Evie had passed away
at 3.50am 7/10/2008, We will never forget that day, the day hearts got broken.

Evie Grace, Mummy and Daddy love you so much, you are our perfect little angel and we will never
ever forget you. We cry for you every day and would do anything to hold you and tell you how special
you are just one more time.
We can't wait for the day we see you again, but until then, sleep tight beautiful angel. Mwah

OUR PRECIOUS BABY EVIE GRACE

In a baby castle, just beyond our eyes
Our baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy,
Who are we, to wish that you had known this world of strife?
Now, play on, our baby Evie Grace for you have eternal life.

At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes our eyes
We'll hear your tiny footsteps come running to our side.
Your little hands caress us, so tenderly and sweet
We'll breathe a prayer and close our eyes
and embrace you in our sleep.

Feelings we will treasure,
sometimes remember sadly
Because, Our little baby Evie Grace
We are still your Mummy and Daddy




A LITTLE ANGEL

Today it would be wonderful
to see you play or smile
but heaven lent you to this world
for just a little while

And in that short but precious time
you brought along much love
and all that love is with you now
in heaven up above

Your leaving caused so many tears
and such a lot of pain
but God needed one more angel
so he took you back again
