Oliver's Story

Born 17 September 1996 Died 20 September 1996

Summary

This Site

News

Oliver was born premature at 30 weeks due to Pre Eclampsia. Obtaining information about pre eclampsia and premature babies was not easy so we turned to the Internet. After some hours of searching we found a number of sites and resources which were of help.

This site is a collection of these sites we found of use and hope it saves you some time looking for what you want.

IMPORTANT. If you came here expecting something else but did not find it let me know, I am trying to build up the site as a reference and feedback is useful. Either use the guestbook or email.

This site is also in part a memorial to Oliver who died after 3 days as a result of a  medical accident. Nothing directly to do with being premature or pre eclampsia. The accident section & Oliver and Us section tells all.

If you are just after information on Pre Eclampsia or premature babies then select option 1 or 2, item 5 has a load of links you can follow.

The A sad bitindicates a section which may cause you to shed a tear.

If you want to know more about Oliver and the events surrounding his death then follow items 3 & 4.

April 2006

Oliver would be 10 years old this year!

If you would like to donate money to BLISS, a charity setup to promote the wellbeing of premature babies then please see www.justgiving.com

Generally the information in this web site does not need to be updated that often as it relatively static. So to add information is a rarity. Oliver's mum, Cathy, has found out some additional factors may have contributed to his being born early. In summary she has been diagnosed as having Hughes Syndrome (Sticky Blood) and Takayasus.
