Jordan Pierce

Jordan was such a happy and fun little boy he was the perfect child all he was looking forward to was his baby brother being born.He loved cardiff city football and liverpool football team, thats why we have the liverpool tune.


I was 6 months pregnant and new i was having a little boy so jordan decided to call him joshua.On the 29th of may jordan was not feeling to well so i kept him off school and took him to our doctors they said to keep an eye on him and gave me calpol to give to him and said he will be fine.


Around 6.30pm jordans temperture was really high and because he had not eaten anything all day we decided to take him to the hospital to be checked out.They did blood tests on him and other tests on him but could not find anything wrong with him because by this time it was 10.30pm they said they would admit him to the childrens ward over night to keep an eye on him.


I phoned my mother to tell her and she offered to stay at the hospital with Jordan over night as i was 7 months pregnant now and needed my rest. My mum arrived at the hospital around midnight myself and my husband told jordan how much we loved him and we would be back around 9.00am in the morning he would be better and we can go home then . He told me and his dad he loved us and can i go to macdonalds tomorrow for my dinner we laughed and said yes kissed him goodnight and left it was around 12.30am. On the way out i asked the nurse if he was ok, she replyed he is fine when the doctor has seen him in the morning he could go home then.


Home in the house i could feel my baby kicking me inside my stomach and could not sleep then at 2.50am the house phone rang it was the hospital telling me that me and my husband had to go straight to the hospital now, i asked what was wrong, is Jordan ok they said they could not tell us on the phone.

We arrived at the hospital within 10mins i saw my mum crying i asked her what is wrong she replyed crying they are doing all they can deb,what do you mean i said,10 mins later a doctor came in to the room and said i am so sorry we did everything but jordan has died

.
I could not take it all in i thought i was dreaming my little boy is fine he is not ill he is not dead dont be silly. My family were contacted to say what had happened to jordan my dad and brother arrived at the hospital with other family members .The doctor asked if we wanted to see jordan, i could not take it all in when i left the hospital he was in this room alive now i am going in to the same room and he is dead. Myself,husband my mum,dad and brother all entered the room where jordan was and there he was my little 6 year old happy fun loving little boy lifeless just lying there all cold. I held him and kissed him and kept telling him to wake up but he was gone.


A post mortem reveled that he had died of MYOCARDITIS which is inflammation of the heart. I will never come to terms with jordans death as i was always informed he was ok.

6 weeks after jordans death i gave birth to jordans brother, who we named joshua jordan john in memory of jordan ,he waited 6 years for a brother and was taken away 6 weeks before he was born. The only comfort i get is that my mum said before jordan died he was looking around the room and asked my mum who all those people were the only people in the room was my mum and jordan he looked at my mum and said nanny hold my hand, and reached out, and at that second he died. A couple of months early my nan died, jordans great nan and they were really close ,myself and my mum believe that when jordan reached out for my mums hand when he said nanny hold my hand it was my nan that had past away he was reaching out for, she was there to meet him.


jordans brother joshua is now 6, have also had another son harry who is 3 and just found out 4 weeks ago im expecting identical twins due in dec 08. Jordan is sadly missed by everyone that knew him, he will never be forgotten , and he lives on in my heart and he will till the day i die.

Thankyou for reading my story xxx
