Hi ness, thanks so much for sharing your son Liam with us! It's taken me some time to get control over my emotions since watching your montage, as I was in tears throughout it. I'm truly humbled and honored at your willingness to share your story of Liam's life, he's very blessed to have such strong and loving parents!
Liam, your precious angel baby, will forever be watching over you from above! I will see Liam in every rainbow I look upon for the rest of my days on this earth!
just wanted to thank you for all your support it has been so overwhelming so thank you
Just thought let you know we got liams autopsy results and it confirms what the mri and scans showed was correct and that he was missing the corpus collosum (the area of tissue connecting the two half halves of the brain) associated with a large cyst between the two halves of the brain. In addition to this he had an abnormal defect on his left half of his brain known as a cleft. Also there were abnormal tissues reflecting the area of nerve connection as well.
They don?t have any answers why this happened , only that it was a freak of nature . ( as we suspected as we knew from the amino that it was a genetic disorder ) the rest of his body was perfectly normal , he was normal size, normal heart , normal kidney , normal lungs etc . The only part that was abnormal ( didn?t develop properly ) was his brain. Why this happened medically we will never know.
This is all good as it means that what happened to liam was ?a freak of nature? and there should be no reason why we cant have healthy children in the future. All my obst advised was to put me on high doses of folic acid as this has been know to reduce the chances of spina bifida and although liam didn?t have this he did suffer from a neuro tube defect( ie connection in his brain ) so they just wanted to take extra precaution for future pregnancies.
All in all I am happy as I everything concludes what I was told from the start anyway and I happy that I didn?t cause this to happen to him ( which I knew anyway but it was nice to be told) and that I did everything right during the pregnancy and there was no way of preventing what happened to him .. it was just his journey which I already knew anyway but it is a comfort to know this and I can never have a doubt in my mind, nor hold any guilt and I can move forward to new beginnings in my life ..
