another baby boy. Although absolutely terrified and missing my first son terribly I am so
grateful for my second son who is just perfect. I would be interested in hearing from
anyone else who has made use of a breathing monitor for subsequent children after
suffering the loss of child due to SIDS and how they were able, at some point, to switch
it off. |

Comments: By the time you read this the guestbook will be
updated and I will be approaching Daniel's one year anniversary. My sweet baby died of
SUDS (Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome)at the age of 19 months old. I was told that
because he was older than 12 months that his death would classified as SUDS. After calling
SIDS National to voice my concern and for someone to answer my questions about this
classification. I was told that most states follow this age classification and that most
states (not all states)within one-year forward any SUDS cases relating to children to SIDS
National Research and then the cases are re-classifed as SIDS. So it has almost been
one-year and I wonder if the State of Missouri will forward my son's case to SIDS
National. I wonder what the numbers really are and how many families are really affected
by SIDS/SUDS. My son was very healthy, happy and loved. I'm afraid he's just another
number to researchers. If his case even made it SIDS National. If anyone is out there,
please must we wait a whole year to reclassify my son's case!! How many other children
have to die of SIDS/SUDS. THIS IS THE NUMBER-ONE KILLER OF OUR BABIES!!!!!! Unfortunately,
my son could help find an answer to why children over the age of 12 months are dying.
Unlike SIDS, a toddlers sleeping habits are quite different and there would be no way to
lay then on their backs/or side or whatever the recommendation is now to help prevent
SIDS. So that makes me wonder, if how we lay our babies down is something we should
concentrate on. There has to be a common denominator between older children. I'm not a
researcher, I just want people to realize that we can learn so much from SUDS CASES and we
should direct our attention equally to older children!!!! This might be the missing link
we need to help obtain a cure or answer so that our babies can LIVE!!!!!!30 years of
research and no answers!! I don't want to go another 30 years!!!!How can you help?? Please
call your SIDS Chapter in your state and make sure the state you reside in forwards all
SUDS cases relating to children are forwarded to SIDS National. Call or Write SIDS
National/Network tell them to start research on children over 12 months of age! Thank you.
My precious baby Daniel - Mommy is trying very hard to live without you. My heart is
trying to heal, your memories will always sustain me. Daddy misses you very much!!!
"Dimples" does too. I know you are in heaven and GOD is with you my sweet, but
for mommy my life is incomplete. I will remember and love you always. DANIEL SCOTT

my biggest fear, not being able to hold her ever again. It has only been a couple of weeks
since she passed away and I do have a lot of "bad days". I miss her more than
live and would love to be there for her but, that is in the good Lords hands now. I have a
six year old son who misses his sister daily and he keeps his mom from falling apart. We
love and miss her deeply. As I always say she was my sixty-seven days of pure happiness.

many years still so much pain. I do feel better but there will always be the part of me
missing. At first I wanted life to end I didn't want to go on. I didn't know how it could.
In time the pain is less painful and you do begin to smile once more. Many of people told
me this. I didn't want to believe. It was so true. I now have another beautiful daughter
and still late at night I will wake and the fear will cross my mind. I don't think it will
ever leave me. She is five now and my son is eight. I still get up at night to reach out
and touch. I am still haunted by the cold touch I felt seven years ago. I can only take a
deep breath and pray all will be ok. Yes,,,,,,,I can pray again it took quite sometime.
Someday you all will be able to feel again and to have the faith I lost so painfully.
Still seven years I still sometimes get tears in my eyes. It is something that I will have
for the rest of my life. |

Christian, is almost 2. He has been having febral seizures associated with fever spikes
since he was 13 months old. He recently had an MRI and is scheduled for an EEG next week.
Although I know that my two sons have different problems, I cannot get the idea out of my
mind that Christian is going to be okay. I guess the fear never leaves. |

Comments: I am a teen mother who had an easy pregnancy and
gave birth to a 5 week premature baby boy. He grew up and touched the lives of many. He
died mysteriously Valentines Day at 9 months of age. The doctors suggest sids but it will
be a while still before we get all the results back from the autopsy. |

Comments: I have read some of the stories of the parents who
have lost children to SIDS. I fear this silent killer everytime I put my child to sleep. I
have raised two other children and thought of it often when they were at most risk. I
would like a cause and/or a cure for this killer. I would like to have peace of mind when
I lay my infant down for a nap or to sleep at night! |

Comments: Although I am not a SIDS parent, I have been
helping with the Edmonton chapter of the Canadian Foundation for the Study of Infant
Deaths for the past five years. I am a former psychiatric nurse and family counsellor,
currently working on a doctorate in sociology. I conducted a study of the short and
long-term grief of 21 Alberta parents who lost their babies between 1964 and 1990. My
study has just been published as a book - due for release in three days at an
international research conference in Vancouver. I am interested in hearing from parents
who lost their babies during that particular time period to find out what kind of grief
support and information you had at the time: what books did you read? Who did you talk to?
Any television programs? What was helpful and what was not? Any help with these questions
would be much appreciated. Thanks. Karen Martin |

Comments: My niece, Erica Danielle, born February 11, 1997
passed away on June 19, 1997. I am seeking support and resources for myself and my family.
We've felt alone in our tragedy since this has happened and it's comforting and
encouraging to see that others have been through it and are okay. There is no proper
etiquette in grieving the loss of a child. We've been winging it and I think we are doing
okay but each of us has had our days. Thank you for providing this support! Thoughtfully,
Mom to Erica's cousins, Samantha 7, and Drew Victoria 1. |

report back to my support group--Resolve Through Sharing. As for my story--I was ten weeks
into my pregnancy when I started experiencing abdominal pain and bleeding. It was tubal. I
had to deal with the loss of our baby and emergency surgery. I am still dealing with the
emotional pain. We are trying, but every month passes without success. We have two other
children--both girls, ages 13 & 7. My best wishes to everyone else who has suffered a
loss. |
