Faye was our youngest daughter, she had two sisters, Sophie 9years and Heather who was 10 years when Faye passed away.
Faye started to have nose bleeds that were very severe, but after being brushed off by our GP several times, I took her to Alder Hey in the early hours one morning. After a number of tests and a bone marrow biopsy, Faye was diagnosed with Aplastic Aneamia a few months later. This is a rare blood disorder that stops the production of blood cells in the bone marrow, which can lead to infections, bleeding and breathing problems.
After 12 months of diagnosis, it was noticed that her cells had plumeted drastically, we was informed that the only option would be for Faye to have a bone marrow transplant.
Faye and I went public to find a donor and to raise awareness about the Anthony Nolan Trust who help find bone marrow donors.
Faye became a bit of a celebrity locally due to all the media attention and coverage she got.
Finally a donor was found in Australia.
Faye had the transplant in May 2008. Initially things seemed to go well and Faye was able to come home because it appeared to have worked.
But Faye was not long home when she developed reoccuring infections/temperatures. We were back and forth to the hospital. She was given drugs to boost the bone marrow to get it working, but that didnt work. Faye was admitted again, which sadly was to be for the last time. Faye became really ill. Unable to eat or drink, severe pains and no energy, she wasnt able to shake off the temperatures. We were informed the bone marrow transplant had failured.
The decision was made to ask the donor to donate again. Unfortunately we never got to that stage as suddenly and unexpectantly Faye developed sudden complications and passed away on July 30th.
I had left Faye with her sister and her nan whilst I run her dad home for him to have a rest whilst I stayed with her. On my return the room was full with the medical team, Faye was on oxygen and was obvious having problems breathing. Faye was saying she couldnt breathe and for them to take the NG tube out of her nose. A doctor was trying to calm her down as initially they though she was having a panic attack.
I was so scared, I knew something bad was happening.
I rang her dad to get a taxi straight back to the hopsital. Faye loved her dad to bits and always wanted him to be there with her. Faye put her arms out for her dad just as he got back, but as she did her blood pressure started to drop quickly as well as her oxygen levels. Faye arrested and staff gave her CPR. You could imagine how we were. I couldnt watch them banging on her chest, I was in and out to her because I also did not want to leave. I remember Mary a nurse telling us they had got a good pulse and heaart rate back and that they were transferring her to ICU. We were given a room to wait in whilst they got her sorted on the different medical equipment. They came out and said we could now go in and see what the were doing with Faye and be with her, but they informed us again that she had stopped breathing again. I knew in my heart we were going to lose her, but you pray for a miracle. They had stopped working on Faye when she began breathing a again on her own. For the third time they tried to resusitate her, but it wasnt to be, the child we had loved and cherished was going. They said we would never get the faye we knew and loved back and asked to disconnect Faye from all the machines, so that we could hold her whilst she passed away. Friends and family who had managed to be contacted were present, including her 2 adored sisters and her beloved nan. Faye passed as soon as she was in my arms.
I held her for long and didnt want to put her down, her dad sat next to me holding her tight.
We brought Faye home, she layed in her bedroom on her sleeping beauty bed, she looked like she was asleep in bed. Our house was always full, her friends would go in frequently to see her and talk to her.
I will never get over the loss of my baby, there are days I wish I could be with her, but I know I have my other two to take care off. I miss her so much. Life carries on in so many ways, but in me a part has died. Our life will never ever be the same again. I prayer that we will be together one day and that she is with her Grandad who she loved so much, who also passed away in Aril 2008 and also with her uncle Jimmy and auntie Tracey and Joanne who she never met but heard so much about.
We always went to my mums for our sunday dinner that Faye loved. My mum had said to Faye to get better so she could make her a dinner again, but Faye turned around and said that her next roast dinner would be with her grandad in heaven. I wonder sometimes if she knew. Faye spoke about her grandad alot before she died.
Faye was so beautiful inside and out. She was so loveable, people adored her. Faye loved to have fun, she had the nickname fairy faye laff a lot, which she required from Anne her lovely nursery teacher. Faye seemed to get on with anyone young and old, male and female. She had a special bond with all that knew her.
Faye was so chatty, some nights she would get in bed with me and she would yap away. She loved her own trends and would be always changing her clothes, sometimes we would laugh about it, other times I would be going mad because of all the washing.
She was so caring, her nan has rheumatoid arthritis and Faye would stroke her nans poor hands.
Faye was so comforting, times when I had been upset, Faye would put her arms around you and gently stroke your face..... i miss that so much.
Faye had loads of loves and kisses for you, they were never in short supply. When I gave her a kiss good night we had this silly little saying 'snuggy bum', that meant after we had give eachother a kiss we would rub our noses together, it was just a thing we did.
Faye was in a swimming, drama and dancing club. She excelled in all of these. Her dance teacher always told me Faye was a natural dancer and that she would do well.
Her best mates were Jade, Amy and Chloe, she had been mates with these from starting school. She was also good friends with another Aimee who is really one of Sophies friends. This Aimee spent many hours at the hospital with us. Our house is like a open house and it is always full of the kids friends staying over.
I have to mention Harry, he was the boy Faye loved at school. He had spent time around at ours with Faye and they would email eachother a lot. He has been devastated.
At Fayes funeral, everybody wore pink, she had a pink coffin and a lovely white carriage pulled by two lovely grey horses.....fit for a princess.
As funerals go, hers was beautiful, her life was celebrated, the service was child orientated. lots of her friends were involved, they did the readings, the offering, served on the alter, they spoke about their memories of her. Heather and Sophie sang 'Somewhere over the rainbow', the exit song was 'Rule the world' by take that. Fr Anton did the service, he is a fabulous priest with a great personality and mor importantly he knew Faye.
We have had loads of love and support through Fayes illness and now in our grief, and yes we put our brave faces on, but inside our heart is torn apart.
We hav since been told that the cause of Fayes death was due to a overload of fluids she had going into her because she wasnt eating or drinking, her organs were not able to cope with the extra fluids. Faye started getting kidney problems as she was dehydrating and would of needed dialysis and transplant the way things were heading.
I needed to know what went wrong, because you always question yourself and have loads of what ifs. I still have loads of what ifs, but I will never be able to change what has happened. X

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
� Pamela Hall

Losing A Loved One
Although your heart is hurting,
And you feel you can't go on
Know in that very moment
Your loved one wasn't alone
For God was there beside them
Holding onto their hand
As the time drew nearer
For them to leave this land
He held them close and whispered
"My child, your time is now"
"But how will my loved ones go on?"
He whispered, "I will show them how"
"I will give them strength and love"
And comfort in the night,
I will fill their hearts with peace
Knowing you had wings as you took flight
You no longer walk amongst them
For now you fly above
With all my Heavenly angels
Spreading ever lasting and eternal love
SHIRLEY H.BRUNSON
