Baby Hospital 21/06 Anyone watching?

[PssstOverHere]

Just tuned in, can't seem to resist baby shows.

[mousymouse]

me, too.
makes me really greatfull to have healthy dc.
amy's? oldest son is lovely, caring for his siblings while mom is poorly.

[babysaurus]

Am watching! Not sure if its a good idea as anniversary of very dear friends death today but maybe a good cry would be cathartic

[mousymouse]

poor little michael, left all alone.

[AllTheYoungDoods]

Think this one might be a tough watch.

[nicm]

:(

[RedRosie]

Little Michael. Oh God. :-(

[LetThereBeRock]

I am. It's been incredibly depressing.The thought of that poor baby going three weeks without a visit from his mother,or any other relative,is incredibly sad.

I'm trying not to pull my judgey pants on here,but that father,Tyler's father?,was a real twat earlier who seemed to think it's all about him,and Tyler's mother talking about a new boyfriend made me wince.

[babysaurus]

I know, poor little sod! I KNOW you shouldn't judge etc etc but am trying very hard not to when I see that little boy

[OddBoots]

Oh goodness, I just want to go in and cuddle him.

[AllTheYoungDoods]

Single mum, several miles away, other kids at home... not much more explanation than that given

[LetThereBeRock]

She does have other children at home,and lives some distance away,but she hasn't formed a bond with Michael,so there's little affection for him it seems.

[OddBoots]

Young single mum with other young children who lives 14 miles away and has no car. Can't be easy. No idea about the dad, he's not been mentioned.

[sdotg]

Got sucked into watching, in bits for baby Michael.

[LetThereBeRock]

This is heartbreaking. Poor Alfie and his poor mother.

[Krynster]

In floods of tears for baby Michael..

[sailorsgal]

You would think there would be more support for her to see him.

I would bloody hitch hike if it was my son in there.

poor Alfie.

[hurricanewyn]

Poor Alfie.....

[shmoz]

Alfie

[AlfieandAnnieRose]

Oh how sad for Alfie and his family, they loved him so much.
Im sorry but i have no sympathy for Michael's mother, she got herself in that situation. If she has no money she shouldn't have had children. Feel sad for them though.

[EightiesChick]

Alfie. His mum and big brother were very brave.

Where is Michael's father? Agree there should be more support for parents to get to the hospital. The buses would be difficult - but it is still awful to see him alone.

[StarryEyedMama]

I really don't think living 14 miles away and being a single parent is an excuse for not visiting you're baby - I would walk 14 miles there and back every day to see my child. Different priorities I guess. Feel desperately sorry for Alfie and his family also, hopefully bring baptised just in time can bring some peace.

[LetThereBeRock]

Did Alfie die? Did his life support have to be turned off? I'm watching online as I'm in Scotland and it isn't being shown here. The last part I saw was that Alfie's mother asked to have him baptised,then my computer went offline for a few minutes.

[hurricanewyn]

Alfie dies. We saw him being baptised and then a message saying he died aged five days old.

I think Michael's mum has PND. It's the only reason I can think of for not visiting for so long.
