This is my tribute to my daughter Hollie Savannah who we unfortunatly never got to meet until after
she had died.

On the 31st august 2006 I was 23 weeks pregnant and looking forward to my scan, never for one moment
did I imagin the horror that would follow from that scan.

I had My 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son with me as the sonographers face droped and told me
that there was a problem and could I get my mum to take the children from the room.

I found out my baby had abnormally high levels of fluid on her brain and was told i would need to
see a specialist at another hospital the following day. The next day the news was worse we were told
our baby - which we now knew was a girl - had server bilateral hydrocephalus and was very likely to
die before, during or shortly after birth, or at best have a very poor quality of life. In the end
we decided that the kindest thing to do was to end the pregnancy.

At lunch time on the 4th september my babies life ended and on thursday the 7th september I was
taken into hospital to be induced. My beautiuful little girl was born at 8.53pm (7 minutes to 9)on
the 7th of september (7th of the 9th)in hospital room number 7.

She weighed 1lb 5oz and was 29 cm long her head circumfrance was 21 cm (quite a bit bigger than it
apparently should have been for her gestation).

My parents were called and came to the hospital along with my youngest brother and the hospital
chaplin was called a did a blessing, Hollie wore a little cross necklace that my mum had brought
her, but afterwards we removed it and I now keep it in a box with all of my special memories of
Hollie. My nan had also knitted Hollie a tiny dress and hat which the midwife dressed her in.

My husband took lots of pictures of Hollie and of me with Hollie and the midwife took her hand and
foot prints and wrote out a cot card for us to keep.

Some of my friends kindly named a star after Hollie so I can truly tell my other children that their
sister is a star shinning bright in the sky watching over them.

I have since given birth to Hollie's baby brother Luke Philip. Hollie must have truely watched
over him as he was born with a true knot in his umblical cord but fortunatly was born healthy and
screaming.
