This is a true story about the time a very special little boy came into our lives and his brave fight in his journey through life until he became an Angel
A Memorial to an amazing little boy
Our first involvement in sams story starts when we received a phone call from our local social services asking if we would take our first foster child. We were advised he was a terminal ill baby boy being cared for in our local children's hospice.
During our first week of visits we learnt about sam’s first weeks of life.Sam was born very premature weighing 1.92kgs (4lb 3 ½ oz) with an enlarged head. Hydrocephalus was expected. X-rays and a CTI scan indicated Sam had no brain only a stem he was diagnosed with a condition called hydranencephaly. Sam was only expected to survive hours or days.
Knowing very little about Sam’s condition we knew we had a lot to learn.
