I was there when my granddaughter was born in October, all the way through. It was tough, but especially so if it's your daughter rather than daughter-in-law like mine. I did get to cut the cord though, which was an unusual experience and nothing like I expected!

eek! still great she wants you in with her - i think it will be seeing her in pain and maybe distressed that will be most difficult for you as her mum.

Thats how second and especially third degree burns kill. Major fluid and salt loss from the skin and/or subcutaneous tissue leading to the body going into shock and death if the fluid balance cant be restored.

Aw Guernsey you'll be fine! You'll be able to tell us all about it on the OBEM threads!

Oh Lord Daisy again!

Poor little Daisy - catheter as well.

This must be so awful for him and the little girl to be going through

And he won't get his burns looked at yet. Poor family

Her dad has a lovely calm voice!

I wouldn't either, bless him. I'm going to start crying in a minute

Jeez this is not good. Worse than I thought. Kinda went a bit when she started wanting her Mummy. May have to sneak up and give mine a cuddle at this rate

And to think I stayed dry eyed through Love Story, The Crying Game, Schindler's List etc

Can't they give that girl something that would knock her out - keeping her awake seems a bit harsh to me.

Wouldn't think so. Her body may go into shock

i thought that but i wonder because she has burns they cant do that?

They probably need her awake so if anything serious occurs, they can nip it in the bud quickly. I think they only knock people out if really needs doing...

Oh gosh - this bit is making me weepy too. Poor Maurice - dementia is so hard for the family.

Daisy is being ever so brave

Dad looks like someone famous...

She really is bless her

That dad is BRILLIANT.

I've just said that. He looks like someone very familiar

Dad is lovely....

Agreed!!

He's making me cry What a nice man, and a gorgeous little girl

This dad is making me cry

Oh man, I've been watching this for about 5 minutes and already I'm in bits at Daisy and her dad.
