I have heard from Lieve and I am sure she will not mind me replying
on her behalf. She has been very busy.
Lars passed away after an operation at another hospital that had a
75% chance of a possitive outcome. It was very traumatic and
confusing for his parents who were given some hope from this second
opinion. The first hospital had predicted that Lars would quietly
slip into a coma and die peacefully and the second hospital said it would
be much more difficult for him if he remained untreated. There was
an operation they could do which had a 75 % chance of a normal life.
They said that they had never seen a baby with his condition do so well
and breast feed and thrive - he was about 6 weeks of age. The
parents spoke to parents were given contacts for other parents who had
babied who had survived the operation and decided to go ahead with
it. It went well but then a few days latter they said that he was
failing and would not survive without the life support system. Then
the parents had to decide to turn it off - Lars went peacefully in his
mothers arms.
They returned him home and packed him in ice in his cot and had a few
days to say goodbye and have visitors over.
I do hope lieve that i have relayed the story well for you.
I do hope that Nele is doing well and kept the amazing strength that
she had throughout this ordeal.
Regards
Rhonda.
