another baby boy. Although absolutely terrified and missing my first son terribly I am so
grateful for my second son who is just perfect. I would be interested in hearing from
anyone else who has made use of a breathing monitor for subsequent children after
suffering the loss of child due to SIDS and how they were able, at some point, to switch
it off. |

Comments: By the time you read this the guestbook will be
updated and I will be approaching Daniel's one year anniversary. My sweet baby died of
SUDS (Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome)at the age of 19 months old. I was told that
because he was older than 12 months that his death would classified as SUDS. After calling
SIDS National to voice my concern and for someone to answer my questions about this
classification. I was told that most states follow this age classification and that most
states (not all states)within one-year forward any SUDS cases relating to children to SIDS
National Research and then the cases are re-classifed as SIDS. So it has almost been
one-year and I wonder if the State of Missouri will forward my son's case to SIDS
National. I wonder what the numbers really are and how many families are really affected
by SIDS/SUDS. My son was very healthy, happy and loved. I'm afraid he's just another
number to researchers. If his case even made it SIDS National. If anyone is out there,
please must we wait a whole year to reclassify my son's case!! How many other children
have to die of SIDS/SUDS. THIS IS THE NUMBER-ONE KILLER OF OUR BABIES!!!!!! Unfortunately,
my son could help find an answer to why children over the age of 12 months are dying.
Unlike SIDS, a toddlers sleeping habits are quite different and there would be no way to
lay then on their backs/or side or whatever the recommendation is now to help prevent
SIDS. So that makes me wonder, if how we lay our babies down is something we should
concentrate on. There has to be a common denominator between older children. I'm not a
researcher, I just want people to realize that we can learn so much from SUDS CASES and we
should direct our attention equally to older children!!!! This might be the missing link
we need to help obtain a cure or answer so that our babies can LIVE!!!!!!30 years of
research and no answers!! I don't want to go another 30 years!!!!How can you help?? Please
call your SIDS Chapter in your state and make sure the state you reside in forwards all
SUDS cases relating to children are forwarded to SIDS National. Call or Write SIDS
National/Network tell them to start research on children over 12 months of age! Thank you.
My precious baby Daniel - Mommy is trying very hard to live without you. My heart is
trying to heal, your memories will always sustain me. Daddy misses you very much!!!
"Dimples" does too. I know you are in heaven and GOD is with you my sweet, but
for mommy my life is incomplete. I will remember and love you always. DANIEL SCOTT

since she passed away and I do have a lot of "bad days". I miss her more than
live and would love to be there for her but, that is in the good Lords hands now. I have a
six year old son who misses his sister daily and he keeps his mom from falling apart. We
love and miss her deeply. As I always say she was my sixty-seven days of pure happiness.

many years still so much pain. I do feel better but there will always be the part of me
missing. At first I wanted life to end I didn't want to go on. I didn't know how it could.
In time the pain is less painful and you do begin to smile once more. Many of people told
me this. I didn't want to believe. It was so true. I now have another beautiful daughter
and still late at night I will wake and the fear will cross my mind. I don't think it will
ever leave me. She is five now and my son is eight. I still get up at night to reach out
and touch. I am still haunted by the cold touch I felt seven years ago. I can only take a
deep breath and pray all will be ok. Yes,,,,,,,I can pray again it took quite sometime.
Someday you all will be able to feel again and to have the faith I lost so painfully.
Still seven years I still sometimes get tears in my eyes. It is something that I will have
for the rest of my life. |

Although I know that my two sons have different problems, I cannot get the idea out of my
mind that Christian is going to be okay. I guess the fear never leaves. |

Comments: Although I am not a SIDS parent, I have been
helping with the Edmonton chapter of the Canadian Foundation for the Study of Infant
Deaths for the past five years. I am a former psychiatric nurse and family counsellor,
currently working on a doctorate in sociology. I conducted a study of the short and
long-term grief of 21 Alberta parents who lost their babies between 1964 and 1990. My
study has just been published as a book - due for release in three days at an
international research conference in Vancouver. I am interested in hearing from parents
who lost their babies during that particular time period to find out what kind of grief
support and information you had at the time: what books did you read? Who did you talk to?
Any television programs? What was helpful and what was not? Any help with these questions
would be much appreciated. Thanks. Karen Martin |

We've felt alone in our tragedy since this has happened and it's comforting and

Comments: We lost a daughter to SIDS in 1985. Happy to see
so much info. is now available to parents and the public. Found this site thru a link from
an MSNBC story (their website) on SIDS. Interestingly, their story's main thrust involved
the need to put babies to sleep on their backs. We're not convinced that makes much
difference.In our case, our daughter was capable of rolling over when she died, and the
position she was placed in at bedtime was irrelevant since she ultimately positioned
herself however she pleased. Anyway, great site. We are always available for contact if
parents in our area need us. We found that next to prayer, talking about it with someone
who "hhad been there" was the best therapy. Please feel free to respond to us if
there is some sort of database out there of SIDS parents who are available for contact.
I'm a layperson, but my wife is neonatal nurse (RN, BSN, MS) with 16 years experience who
understands the science of all this. Thanks again, KBB & DCB |

to me .althow the otopsi has not been recived yet I feel so bad and responsible I wrote
most of it down below Yestreday at around 4pm Phil & I went to the bank to sine papers
on the now loan .we got home at around 5 Phil was out frount and didn't know what was
going on Guy and My helper had been here with the children , I put my things down and went
out here to check on and see that my little ones were ok all the big ones were but when I
got to my smallest one he was 4months ,he was blue and allittle stiff I had put him down
for a nap befor I left . Anyway I started CPR and called 911 but was having truble keeping
the phone on my ear and that's when guy walked in and realised what was happeneing and
picked the phone up and talked to the fire dept;911 person. I thought he was comeing back
to us becouse his color was getting better. It seemed to take forever for the fire dep. to
get here thay are only 3 blocks away I never heard the sirens. Phil like I said was out
front and the firemen asked him if this was 180 and he said yes. when they got here thay
took my baby Jack away real fast . Then I was told by the babys Grand mother to call the
mother so ran to get the regatration card here in AZ. its called a Blue card becouse it is
blue . But I couldn't see it and was looking for my glasses and Guy took it and called
her. Then I lost control and cried and yelled and Guy was holding me mo the floor . then I
wonted to Go to the hospital so he took me.Thay put us in a little room and the Chaplin
fort the fire dept; kept roporting what was happening .Then the doctor came in and told us
they couldn't bring him back .Tracy -the mother went in to hold him and Guy brout Me home
.Later sometime in the night the police came and talked to Guy and me. then I was thinking
and new I had to call the Health dept. so I tried but thay were closed . But I colled in
the morrng and they came down and took a report . the Police came today to talk to my
helper . I have heard from 2 people that thay think but is not proven that sometimes 1to3
days after imusations this happens but it's not proven so the Docters wont say it .We have
to wate for the corner's report at least the palimnary one but every one including the
Doc. (unafishilly ) belives it to have been SIDS. and I do to and I know every thing and
all that stuff but it still dosn't make it any easer . He was SOOO normel starting to show
his personality . & talk to us I even took him outside for the first time yesterday.
the weather was nice and all the children were out for the first time in weeks. Tomrrow
evening I'm having a meeting so all the parents can be told how to ancer their childs
questions.Today I had to coll or tell, IN person ,every parent . But it was on the local
raido and it will be in our paper tomrrow i'm sure. I dont know why I felt the need to
tell you but every one told my i should write it down I kind of think maby or proubly if i
was home and ont at the bank for that hour I might have checked on him moor often and this
would not have happened . Baby Jack never liked to lay down when he was here i think he
just didn't wont to miss anything he was so bright . when i layed him down i put him on
his side but when i found him he was on his tummy i gess he could have rolled alittle
befor he went to sleep he ciied a little at first . I have ben caring for children for
over 15 years not counting my owen 2 boys ages 15 &23 and never have any thing ever
happener like this I gess i just needed an ear thank you for beeing there / I'm sorry

was stillborn and we were so thankful that his identical brother, Sam, was born 'perfect'.
11 weeks later Sam died suddenly and we went with the idea it was a SIDS death for an
agonising 4 months until pathology tests revealed he had a heart virus. However, in that
first few months I had the most wonderful support from the Brisbane SIDS people (We lived
in Bris at the time) I still couldn't thank them enough for putting me and my family back
on track. We have since had another set of beautiful twins (boy and girl) who have been
very happy and healthy. They are now over 2 years old. My heart goes out to you all who
still don't have an answer for your childs death. Keep your chin up..... Kerry |

Comments: we have been waiting for our new baby girl. we
adopted several years ago and the birth mother was due again. unfortunantely the dr.
choose not to do a repeat c-sec. and the mothers womb ruptured. our new baby girl died
right away. there is not any chance for another sibling now. we are so hurt about the loss
of this baby. the circumstances surrounding her loss have been so heavy on our heart.
prayers cannot bring her back but they may lighten our pain. thank you, jann sparks |

Comments: I had 2 miscarriages, one 10 yrs ago and one
recently(I was married twice). I first one came during our break up and I got through it
without too much upset. But this one hit me hard. I have not been able to get pregnant as
of yet. We have been trying for 5 months. I know there are those who try for years, but I
am 32 and feel like I am running out of time. It really depresses me at times. But we are
planning on getting tested if nothing happens this time. Are there counsleors/therapists
that specialize in helping those that have had miscarriages? |

so terrible sad when they can not help at all and have no plan for the future. It feels
scary when I realize the the issue starts to rule my life. I wonder how other women handle
it. Is there a list available of what research programs there are to find out the cause of
pregnancy loss? |

daughter. Megan Desiree Hutchinson 9/8/97-12/09/97. I am still hurt and saddened by losing
her, but am choosing to seek out the lesson in all of this. Which is life is short and we
tend to forget our purpose here. It's not to work 110 hrs a week and plug into the
television when we get home, but to live each moment as if it were our last. To remember
to be kind to that person who was short with you and to find balance. Megan was my first
child. I said she would be my last. I lied. Thank you for changing my life Meg you have
made me a better person. Love Mom |

30, 1998, I found out I am pregnant. Overjoyed and scared. I have had seven miscarriages.
I was just not ready to give up. I will be 39 in April. I feel more emotional this time
than the other times. I think it is because I know this is "do or die". I really
think that if I lose this baby that I need to move on. I am scared of my age. I have only
told one person. This roller coaster is eating me up. More later....... Thank you all for

Comments: I let Guestworld randomly pick a Guestbook for me
to look at (I was extremely bored). Gosh, how sad. I've never seen such a sad crowd. I
feel so bad. But, it sure opened my eyes and heart to those who deal and dealt with sudden
infant death syndrome. I can't imagine, actually don't want to imagine, life w/o my baby.
I'm a pretty young mother (20 years old) and I have a one year old. What age groups are
the parents of most SIDS cases? Just wondering. I don't know anyone who has gone through
it, and it might also be a topic lots of people would rather not talk about, especially if
it happened to them. I'm so heartbroken, after reading just a few of the entries. Let me
close this for now. ~*Mimi*~ |
