Very Bad News
Hi all
I'm posting this here because I know some of you care..
On Thursday night/Friday morning, Amy had a really bad nightmare and it really shot her blood pressure up to dangerously high levels. Trying to get out of bed, she fell.
She was rushed to hospital where she was stabilised although her blood pressure remained high. I was told it was lucky it didn't kill her and we were then told there was a 70/30 chance she would lose the twins.
I didn't keep my hopes up because of Amy's miscarriage in the post but I hoped they could be saved and for a while it looked like they could have done.
However, early this morning, I got a phone call from the hospital asking me to come down quickly. Amy sadly lost the twins. Not normally allowed, but they let me stay overnight to be with her. Two hours ago, they induced labor allowing them to come out before any harm could come to Amy.
They're going to hold onto the twins for us and when Amy comes home after her blood pressure is stable, we're going to bury them in the back garden along with the other babies Amy carried and miscarried.
Amy's parents are looking after Emma and Hermione right now - it's best for them they don't see me in this sort of mood.
For Serenity and Shaylee. You will never be forgotten...

I don't expect any sympthetic messages or didn't post this for sympathy. I posted this because I know there are people on here who care.

As a side note, Serenity is such a good name.
Take Amy in your arms and hug her, hug her until your arms ache and then tell her you love her.
You may not want the sympathy but you'll get it anyway, you get it in buckets loads because we're like that here.
That is awful, tragic news. Words cannot describe how bad I feel for you.
Take care and look after Amy, Emma and Hermione. Nothing else matters.

I'm really sorry to hear that...

It is very reasuring that this forum has a caring warmth in its members. Somthing that is lacking throuout most of the Internet.
Andrew & Emily (my wife).
yes we care, unfortunately nothing we say can heal the pain.
all i can say is both you and amy help each other to come out the other side stronger than before.
cherish the ones you have got like never before
typing this and trying to think what to put ive actually got tears forming in my eyes.

There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said before, so all I'll say is that we're all here for you and the rest of your family.
I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

Thank you for all the kind words - they were greatfully appreciated.
I took the girls into see Amy earlier (I've not long got back and taken them to Amy's parents but more on that later). She got lots of cuddles and was told how much we love her.
They're not allowing any visitors for a few days to give her blood pressure a chance to go down. I'm allowed to ring her up though. When I do see her next, I'm going to show her all the posts you have made - she thinks most message boards are full of idiots and power-mad blokes mainly since I got given a life ban from the Doctor Who Outpost Gallifrey board because I helped my niece and sister-in-law get accounts on it and let them use my machine to access it (because they didn't have internet).
I feel for all of you who have gone through something like this.
I suppose we should be used to this now - between the time Amy had Emma and Hermione, she's been pregnant six times and miscarried before two months. When she got this far, we thought we'd broken the curse.
Amy's parents are looking after the girls for a few days while I cheer up - they don't need to see me like this, especially Emma considering how she's felt since she lost her leg.
I'm going to post something on the board later, mainly in appreciation for all the kind words..
Thank you again..
Give your wife and children our best wishes. And if it's important, please assure your wife that most message boards and forums are mostly populated by real, reasonable people - it's just the odd few people who try to ruin things for everyone else.
We do care, mate. We're all in this life together, and aside from an anti-social or self-centred few, most people are concerned about others. 95% of the reason I visit WOS is for the community, and this forum, along with a couple of others on other sites, gives me the chance to talk to interesting, like minded people (and Mel!), and is the main reason for my using the Internet. I have friends in the real world too, good friends, but few of them share either the my interests (Spectrum, N64, books etc), or the sense of humour we see on the forums (especially the WOS forums :p ).
Anyway, we're thinking of you. And if you do ever need to talk, then these forums are always here.
All the best, mate.
We had a similar scare when my girlfriend was carrying our son and it was touch and go, though thankfully everything was ok.
Nothing anyone can say will help but my thoughts and best wishes go to you and yours.
cheers
I hope you and Amy can get through this stronger, and look after each other.
im not interesting?
i know not many people have a mind like mine
apart from maybe daren :P

Thank you again for the very kind words.
I'm proud of my family and I love to mention them. My avatar is Emma age 2
People on two Doctor Who boards think my whole family is FAKE (and they've used that word) on the basis of a joke I made because of their persistance.
Emma (oldest daughter) enjoys playing Speccy games on Spin. Amy thinks Mel is the funnest person on this board.
(Amy was a C64 user in her youth because of her sister but isn't one for games these days. Hopefully when we get a Wii I can get her intrested).
We had not long renewed our vows together. Most of my mothers family disowned me afterwoulds because I only invited Great Aunty Jean (the rest have been so horrible to Amy over the last 10 years - they never got invited to the original wedding either).
