Little Jamie Elliot, from Edinburgh, was born with a number of severe complications including fluid where his cerebellum should have been, as well as hearing and sight loss.
The parents of a Scots baby who died at just nine-months-old have told how the kindness of strangers got them through the loss of their child. Little Jamie Elliot was born in December 2018 with a number of severe complications, including fluid where his cerebellum should have been as well as hearing and sight loss.
The couple are now backing a new appeal run by the charity called 'Never Forget' which funds memory making activities like hand and foot casts, charms and personal quilts. Fiona and Martin explained how the special activities provided by the charity have ensured they’ll never forget their baby boy. “The memory making activities we did were so personal. They took our handprints and turned them into stegosaurus dinosaurs. The day Jamie died we were given three elephants, knitted by ECHC volunteers. They remind us not only of our son, but of the kindness of strangers. It helped us realise we weren’t on our own.
The grieving mum explained how the hospital became their second home as medics tried to diagnose and treat little Jamie.
