Incredibly sad news...

Early this morning we had an awful phonecall from Claire to tell us that our dear wee Grandson Tyler had just died unexpectedly. Ambulance staff were unable to revive him. Although he has had health issues with swallowing etc, he's been (seemingly) showing some real signs of improvement - especially since he started on semi-solids.

The coroner says it wasn’t cot death but that he was sicker than had previously been picked up or known. They are doing tissue tests to try and establish the exact cause. He has been in pain all his life so has just learned to live with it. He was happy and smilie Monday and Tuesday when Jeanette was with him, although he was on antibiotics for tonsillitis. It was good news amongst bad that Claire and Chris know (officially) that they didn’t do anything wrong and had ticked all the boxes. We were already utterly confident of that. They are both exempliary parents and have been meticulous in their love and care for him and handling his feeding issues.

We will be burying Tyler on Saturday after a small family service.

Thanks so much for the many messages of support today.

TYLER, WE LOVE YOU...
