Alfie Evans 7

[StayingAtTamaras]

Tom confirmed in a live feed that she was 22 weeks pregnant, the father part is pure speculation as far as I am aware though.

I hope Alfie's disease wasn't a hereditary one, for all their sakes :(

TE confirmed she is 22 weeks pregnant, whether he is the father of her new baby or not is our speculation as nothing has been confirmed either way.

Kattinka all we can hope for now is Alfie will be laid to rest in a dignified manner surrounded by his family, instead of another bloody circus. Rest in Peace little warrior xx

I believe with a different Dad.

That must be very difficult for TE, if true.

I came across a petition to ban balloon and lantern releases because of the harm they do if anyone is interested, petition.parliament.uk/signatures/45834790/signed?token=2NZzETZcv1MQb4HDxIoX

Let's not speculate, both parents have been through a horrendous time i hope they can both find some peace and happiness either together or apart .

There is now a Post Alfies Army group on FB.
FFS.

I've had a falling out with a friend on FB today after some of what they posted:

"Alfie died last night.
Alfie showed all the signs of being vaccine injured.
You cannot claim compensation for a vaccine injury case before a child is 2.
Alfie would have been 2 on 9th May.
Alfie's parents were refused the right to seek alternative care in the most heavy handed way.
Work it out for yourselves.
Our children belong to the government."

All of it is so untrue it's ridiculous n

Alltheprettyseahorses I dispair! Everyone is well aware a baby has died!! To say people are selfish because they're aware of the (huge) negative side of a balloon release is disgusting. Shame on you. I live in the country, I've known a few people who have had to have animals destroyed because they've eaten a bit of balloon. Is a painful and slow death for the animal if it's not found and put down. To think that this is ok because someone else is grieving is pretty thoughtless and low. You'd have to be a pretty awful person if you understand the effects of these balloons and still want to do it.

Sozzler spot on!

Poor Alfie, I hope his end was peaceful. Prayers for him and his parents. His mum and dad must be in a state of shock. It must feel unreal, after all the fighting and every effort being poured into keeping him alive, to suddenly have that ripped away, on top of the heart breaking grief.

It must be awful, indescribable.

I can only hope that their bodies are keeping them in a state of physical shock, which cushions them a little from this at least for the first day or so. I found this stage is something we’re desperate to rush over and talk about doing things ‘for the shock’, like it’s something negative that gets in the way, but it’s important, we need to be numbed and distant from such traumatic loss. Sometimes our bodies get it right.

Poor them. Poor everyone. I’m so sorry for everyone Alfies illness and loss effects.

I think it really wrong to speculate who is the father of kj's second child. This is private to her, doesn't matter,and, as far as I can she really hasn't sought any media attention.

I cannot believe people are sticking the knife in and complaining about a balloon release, when the lovely boy has only just died. I am as supportive of AH and sceptical of AA as many of you, but come the fuck on.

Get some compassion.

^ This.

You're so right but if these people are prepared to incite hatred and violence against innocent people, delay parents with sick children from being able to enter AH by blocking cars, and many other things, they display very little, if any, rational thought and sadly animals probably just do not register with them as being of any importance. No idea what the answer is.

And posted by Prettylittleseahorses too 🙄

There won't be many of them left after this debacle....

Perhaps it might be appropriate to start a separate thread to discuss the effect of balloon releases on the environment.

Have some respect and compassion for the family, will you! Any environmental damage that might be caused by balloons, while still not great, is nothing compared to what everyone causes every day by living normal, Westernised lives. So where is your 'rational thought' in ignoring those effects? What harm can little Alfie Evans ever cause to the world? A balloon. The rest of us? I wouldn't like to speculate. This is absolutely not the time for all the virtue-posturing - and it clearly comes from a bad place anyway.

There is also something about a group of people who have never met Alfie or either of his parents or any other of his family come to that who feel the need to gather together to let hundreds of balloons off.

If just his family had done this it would not have been quite so bad. Why not though light candles? Why not give the money that would have been wasted on a balloon to a charity?

^Huh? Alfie Evans isn't a balloon.

I don't get the public display of grief by people who didn't know Alfie or his parents.

I was saddened by the story and this morning when I heard of his death but there are facebook posts saying things like "I will be heartbroken for ever".

While all those people were wailing outside the hospital this afternoon there were sick and dying children in there with parents just as upset, grief stricken etc as Alfie's parents. Of course the army don't care about any of them do they? They could have used the money they spent on balloons (and some of them had 6 or more balloons) to buy something for other sick children
