Where do i start!
Our beautiful 'Livi' came into the world at 02.22am weighing 8lb7oz.
Everything was perfect, we had our two beautiful girls that we had always wanted, Jazmine who was 4 at the time of Olivia's birth doted on her baby sister she couldn't do enough to help. Olivia was the perfect baby, or so we thought, so quiet and content, slept all night i was the one waking her for feeds it was all too good to be true.
On Sunday 21st Nov 2004 Olivia developed some odd looking marks on her legs by Monday they had doubled, i called the Dr and off we went, she took one look and sent us to our local hospital in Winchester, still none the wiser we sat and waited for the dreaded blood results! At 7.30pm 3 Dr's and a nurse came in, To me that was bad news. Our Gorgeous baby girl that we'd tried to conceive for 3 years was diagnosed with Leukaemia(INFANT ALL) at just 5 weeks old! The ambulance crew were already waiting to take us to our local children's cancer unit (Piam Brown) in Southampton.
They gave Olivia less than a 50% chance of survival, her white count was so high and this was just a one in a million chance of getting it at such a young age. Our fight was just beginning! Our little star proved them all wrong over and over again. She went into remission but just 10months later a routine blood test showed the disease had returned, We had the chance to stop treating or go for a bone marrow transplant if they could get her back into remission again they said it was unlikely she would go into remission a second time, but she did. we couldn't give up on her now. We traveled to Bristol Children's Hospital in Nov 2005 where she received her bone marrow transplant in Dec 2005, any complication that was possible Olivia had, she like to push the Dr's to their limits! In Feb 2006 she had internal bleeding, given a less than 5% chance of making it through the life saving op to remove half her stomach, All the family came to say their goodbyes, but within a week Olivia was sat up eating mini cheddars! She'd done it again! Always with a smile, hardly anything got her down and no matter what mood she was in her big sister Jazmine always got the biggest smile. After 18 weeks in Bristol we were told Olivia could be transfered back to Southampton, a day we never thought we'd see. we went back and forth between hospitals, with one thing or another, collapsed lung, GVHD(graft versus host disease) of the stomach,liver and skin,pulmonary hypertension, oxygen 24hrs a day for a year, nil by mouth more than not. she put up with so much. Our longest stay at home had got to 12 weeks before we were back in for another 12 week stay. we were desperate to break our 12 weeks record and maybe get a family summer holiday with no hospital visits. our last stay was coming to an end, 12 weeks in after a tummy bug. Olivia had always been a difficult eater, she'd never had to it was always done for her through the ng tube or IV. she was coming home on iv tpn this time, which i had learnt to do just so we could all be home together. along with all her drugs, it was so good to be home, sleeping ion our own beds all of us in the same part of the country. Our visits to hospital went from every other day to twice weekly to every two weeks finally we were getting somewhere, we were a half normal family for the first time since Nov 2004.
Our next routine visit was Thur 2nd Aug 2007, while at the hospital Olivia's right hand seemed to not grip as well as it was, Dr's were concerned she may of had a minor stroke, we went back the next day for an MRI which confirmed she had suffered a slight stroke, but still they were trying to get us home ready for our holiday the following Saturday, Sunday she starting having fits, Monday morning at 6am she was moved to PICU (4th time in 2 yrs) she was put on a ventilator to let her body rest, they gave more drugs to control the fits and did a CT scan which was no worse than Friday's which was a relief to everyone. she remained stable Tue and Wed, they had started a drug to stop her blood clotting and causing another stroke. By Thur 9th she had gone down hill again and another CT scan showed she had now suffered a bleed to her brain, still we couldn't give up, she had to prove them wrong again, i wasn't going to let this beat her now. We stayed with her all night by Friday lunch time she had got worse and they told us her brain had completely died. Our only option was to turn her ventilator off, she was never going to regain consciousness. 13 members of her family were around her bed, we took hand and foot prints and a lock of hair and took photo's. at 4pm on Aug 10th we decided we had to let her go in peace, our beautiful girl could fight no more, deep down we knew Olivia had already gone to be an angel, all her machines were switched off, i was begging her to breath but she never did, her tiny weak shell of a body had been through enough.
We broke our record and stayed at home with Olivia for 16 weeks before her stroke, she had a record of 617 days as an in patient since Nov 2004, but sadly we never got our family summer holiday.
Olivia was a famous little girl in our area for all the wrong reasons. she was our little star on earth and is our bright shining star in heaven.
We all love and miss you so much Livi, our lives will never be the same without you.
Sleep tight baby, Your Great Uncle Graham(hebberd) is keeping an eye on you while you play with you best friend Abigail(Bailey)and your bigger friend Joe, and all the other precious beautiful angels up there.
We love you
Mummy, Daddy and Jazmine xxx

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
� Pamela Hall
All my love Sylvie

There's a very special place beyond the skies above
somewhere very peaceful that is full of light and Love
That special place is Heaven, where you're free to laugh and roam
it was your time to go there so the angels took you home
And though you're in our thoughts each day throughout the year
at special times like Christmas we all Wish you could be here
Now you're in a better place,your soul is laid to rest
safe with all the Angels for they only take the best.
