Thank you all so very much for visiting Karen on her Birthday. Madison and I were amazed with all
the pictures and lovely words left for Mummy, and to feel so much love. It's wonderful to know
you're all there for us.
Thanks again xxxx Sylvia and Madison

★☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ.★☆
This is Karen, my beautiful daughter, taken from us far too soon due to Medical Negligence on the
part of both Rugby St Cross Hospital, and University Hospital, Walsgrave, Coventry.
Please read our story and if you wish please leave a message, or light a candle........ both Karen's
little Princess (Madison), and myself love to see people visiting and thank you in advance for your
kindness.
★☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ.★☆
On Wednesday 4 February 2009 I had confirmation from our Solicitor that the NHS Trust had
accepted......LIABILITY ... and ... CAUSATION... for Karen's death.
Whilst we knew this to be the case ... the confirmation and realisation has been very hard to come
to terms with. My darling girl should NOT have died .... and finally they are saying the same....
and are asking if they can write to me with an apology (2 years after the event).
I DON'T WANT AN APOLOGY.... I WANT MY DAUGHTER!!!!
As you can imagine Im devestated all over again!!!
But watch this space .... the fighting starts now !!!
Thanks again to you all, from the bottom of my heart xxx I don't know what I would have done without
you. Sending love to you and your Angels xxx God bless.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Karen leaves: her Mother - Sylvia; Sister - Kim; Brother-in-law - Dougie; Nephew - Christopher;
and her Daughter - Madison (now 8 yrs old).
In loving memory of Karen (our Kaz). Not a day goes by that we don't think of you with so much love.
You are forever in our thoughts and in our hearts. We miss you so much. We think of your wonderful
personality, your kind, thoughtful, generous nature. Everyone who came into contact with you loved
you for being you. Never negative, always so loving and caring, and giving ....... even to those who
had treated you so badly !!!
We thank you for being you; for all the good times we had; and for the happy, precious memories
which will remain with us forever.
We thank you for giving the world our little Madison, who you wanted so desperately, and who you
loved so dearly. She was your world and everything you did was for her..... you certainly made up
for the fact that she had only one parent who cared about her.
Your parting was sudden, and so very tragic. Those who love you dearly can never, ever, forget the
events which led up to your leaving us, and the devastation which others caused through sheer
neglect:
"...On Tuesday 6 February 2007 Kaz was on her way to her daughter Madison's after-school dance
recital with our Mum. They had stopped at a local shop to pick up some sweets for Madi and as Karen
was getting out of the car she tripped and fell, breaking her hip. Mum managed to get her back into
the car with the kind help of a passer by, and took her straight to hospital. She arrived at Rugby
Hospital at approximately 3.45pm.
Karen was a renal patient on dialysis but doing remarkably well and leading a relatively normal
life, holding down a full time job and raising Madison in between work and dialysis sessions.
Karen waited for over 7 hours in the A+E Department of the local hospital and was finally
transferred to Walsgrave hospital in Coventry, as they could operate the next day to repair her hip.
Karen arrived at Walsgrave at 11.00pm and was admitted to the Orthopaedic Ward and settled down for
the night. AT NO TIME WAS THE RENAL WARD INFORMED OF KAREN'S ADMISSION TO HOSPITAL.
The operation, however, was not to be, as the following morning she suffered a heart attack. Karen
was found slumped over in her bed at 6.40am and after medical intervention Karen's heart was
eventually started again, but KAREN HAD BEEN LEFT TOO LONG UNATTENDED. No one can say what time
the heart attack occurred but we are told she was fine at 6.00am that morning. Unbelievably, we
were also told that when Karen was found in this state, because of her age..... they tried harder to
resuscitate her, than they would normally have done !!!! If Karen had not been left unattended for
so long then yes, they probably would have resuscitated her successfully ...... but the damage had
been done !!!
Karen was eventually taken to intensive care to be placed on life support. The machine was breathing
for her as we had been advised that her brain had been starved of oxygen.
We hoped and prayed for a miracle but it was not to be. There had been no improvement overnight, if
anything she had deteriorated.
EVERYONE CONCERNED with the care (at both hospitals) had been advised of Karen's renal condition but
NOT ONE member of the hospital staff who came into contact with her (NO-ONE) had bothered to
check Karen's potassium levels whilst checking her bloods. A broken bone causes potassium to be
released into the bloodstream at a much faster rate, and a high potassium level in a renal patient
can be, and MOST CERTAINLY in this case, HAS PROVED TO BE fatal......
In short.... The un-checked high potassium caused the heart attack which, in turn, was left
unattended for far too long, leading to oxygen starvation to the brain..... and causing Karen's
death.
On Thursday 8 February we had to be present whilst doctors turned off Karen's life support. Our
light went out that day and our hearts broken forever.
We are left to raise Madison (now 8 years old) who was Karen's reason for living...."
We all love you more than words can say darling, and miss you so much. You will NEVER, EVER, be
forgotten... and those responsible will never be forgiven for what they have done xxxxxx
##################################################
At the end of Karen's two-day inquest in November 2007 the Coroner stated that there had been
negligence on the part of both hospitals. We knew this was the case, but it was beneficial to us for
this statement to be made.
Legal action is now being taken against the hospitals concerned, who come under the same Trust .....
I'm sure you can appreciate our anger but they will NOT hear the end of this even though, I'm sure,
we will have to fight tooth and nail for justice... but believe me, we will, because had it not been
for the TOTAL LACK OF CARE shown by both hospitals, our Karen would be with us today, and our little
Madison would still have her Mummy.
##################################################
We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who visits Karen, it means so much to us,
especially Madison who loves to see the messages that people leave for her Mummy. Thanks again.
xxxxx Love to you all. Sylvia.

Deep in the night when you lie in your bed
wondering at shadows up over your head
and you pull those soft white sheets to your eyes
do you whisper to God and ask Him why?
Why is she gone and why did she go?
you want to know and you want Him to show
you a reason. So pray as fast as you can.
But unanswered prayers are a part of the Plan.
But when you ask why and your eyes start to cry
and you feel so sad that you think you might die,
listen. Because He will tell you. And cherubs' wings
hug and hold you snug as they sing
a song so sweet like sirens of lore
as you slip into dreams of what was before.
And then you will see her far away in her bed
where she has the covers pulled up over her head
and she's asking God why as her eyes fill with tears
and she shakes with the fears that nobody hears her
when she asks why and her eyes start to cry
and she feels so lonely she thinks she might die,
she listens. And He tells her. And angels' wings
hug and hold her snug as they sing
a song so sweet like sirens of lore
as she slips into dreams of what was before.
And she sees the little girl far away in her bed
with the covers pulled up around her head
and she smiles through the pain
when He answers 'you will be together again.'

Night night Darling
Monday 01 March 2010
Hi Darling, just popping in to say night night.
Madison has been to Sulgrave Manor today....... a tudor house. She really enjoyed it and all the girls got dressed up as maids... and the boys as grooms, or something else... not really sure, but the girls were all maids.... and she said she loved it and wants to go again.
I took Marg to the doctors today, she had to have the paramedics to her work on Saturday because she had pains in her chest and numbness in her arms and legs. She was very frightened and thought she was having a heart attack. They settled her down and told her she must go to the doctor which she has done today and the doctor has given her a sick note for a couple of weeks. Her job is very stressful and the bitch of an area manager she has is most certainly not helping the situation..... if Marg would allow me I would ring the bitch and tell her what I thought of her but she doesn't want me to...... so I'll have to forget that idea.
All in all Marg is getting lots of stress from one thing or another and Ive told her to try to rest and not let all the "bother" she is having.... get to her..... it's just not worth it.
Anyway Darling Im going to say night night now because its getting late.
God bless Bab xxx Love you xxx
(((((((((( Karen / Mummy ))))))))))
Hugs from us both, as always xx
Night night Darling, see you in the morning xxx Love you xxx Mum.
And for all of you that are reading this I hope you found it interesting !!!!!
I am home in Heaven, dear ones
Oh so Happy and so Bright
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light
All the pain and grief is over
Every restless tossing passed
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade ?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glad
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to treas;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely.
For I love you dearly still
Try to look beyond earths shadows.
Pray to trust our Father's Will
There is work still waiting for you.
So you must not idly stand;
Do now, while life remaineth-----------
You shall rest in Jesus' land
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh the joy to see you come
ALL MY LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL ANGEL. GOD BLESS SWEETHEART. ALL MY LOVE GLORIA AND MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL ANTHONY AND MY ANGEL DADDY JAIME XOXO

Hello From Heaven - by Sharon Wheeler
It's me again from Heaven,
With a message from above.
Feel my spirit all around you,
As I sprinkle you with love...
I have watched you, as your tears flow,
I have heard your silent screams.
I know you sleep with visions,
Of me visiting your dreams...
I have come and sat beside you,
Placed my hands upon your face.
Wiped away the many teardrops,
I so wish I could erase...
I have watched you every day now,
Seen such pain within your eyes.
I just wish that there were some way,
I could help you realize...
I am happy up in Heaven,
In this peaceful loving place.
Where I will be here waiting,
To welcome you with my embrace...
You will join me here in Heaven,
When your time comes you’ll see.
Leave your earthly cares behind you,
Travel on to where you’re free...
I have heard you ask to go now,
But there is more for you to do.
I promise I'll be waiting,
When your time on earth is through
★☆Night night my Darling xx xx God bless ★☆

Hi Darling, it's Mum again to say night night.
Just been talking to Auntie Sylv on the phone, she says she's fed up with all the olympics on the TV and because she's in Canada its far worse, because they're coming from there. I said well I haven't seen any of it because Im not interested.... she said neither am I but we dont have a choice !!
Bless her... she's 80 now and still going strong.
Well Bab, we've had an "in" day today and it's been lovely. Not had to bother about going anywhere and Madison and I have just been doing lots of nothing special. Infact we've both been on the computer for a lot of the day..... playing games.
Bab is fast asleep now and tomorrow she's going to Sulgrave Manor with the school. It's a tudor house.... because the children are learnig about the tudors and especially King Henry VIII. She's very excited and very interested which is really good.
Well darling, not much else to tell you today so I'll see you in the morning.
Night night love xxx God bless xxx
(((((((((( Karen / Mummy ))))))))))
Hugs from us both, as always xxx
Love you Darling xx Love you EVERY second xxx Mum.
Did you ever think a candle
Can show you how we live our life
Sometimes tiny flames burn brighter
Through trials and storms and strife
And when someone we love seems to flicker and fall
And their flame we can no longer see
We find peace in knowing their light still glows
In the place we cannot yet be
So now in the glow of a candle
We remember the love you shared
And celebrate the joy of the lives you touched
In the warmth of knowing you cared.
xxx
xx Thank you so much my Darling xx

Sylvia and Karen x
Always Near as You Walk
And I am no longer with you
Let no tears fall or sorrow prevail
When you see your reflection shimmer in the water
Smile and know that I see your smile
When you feel the cool grass beneath your feet
And the sun’s warmth upon your back
Know that I feel it also
When you hear the leaves rustling in the wind
Know it is my voice softly whispering to you
When you see a butterfly dancing among flowers
Know that I am dancing also
When you gently touch a puppy’s soft fur
Know that I too feel your touch
When the wind swirls across your skin
Know that it is I who caresses you
When you love another
Know that I too feel your love
These words are truth, my love
Have faith, my love
As long as beauty lives upon the earth and in the stars
And love lives in every beat of every heart
So then do I
So then do we all.
Sending my love to you both.xxx
