IN HONOR OF BRIDIE MARIA LEE STUCHBURY

                                                                          07.01.2009 to 15.04.2010

Bridie was the most beautiful baby you have ever seen. For Sue (Mum) and Lee (Dad) Bridie was a Dream come true. Bridie made so many people happy, everyone comented on her beautiful eyes and long lashes.

Bride lived a very normal everyday life with no cause for concern to Sue, Lee or any of the family. She was happy, and would clap, laugh, smile, roll, sit up and could say Mum, Dad and Nan.

On the 1st January 2010 Bridie developed a chest infection, followed by an ear & viral infection then a sickness bug, this all lasted a couple of Months. On February 27th 2010 when being treated for the sickness bug Bridie started getting a twitch in her foot. This was the start of a long siezure where Bridie ended up in Intensive care at the Evelina childrens Hospital in London. While in intensive care the doctors spoke of many possible causes, but the one they kept coming back to was Mitochondrial Disease.

Bridie recieved a lot of treatment at the Evelina. The Nurses, Doctors and Consultants could not do enough and all cared for and loved Bridie dearly. After being out of intensive care for almost a week Bridie was unfortunatley rushed back in. After 9 more days in intensive care, Bridie was back on the ward but because of the continued siezure activity it had really weakened Bridie.

Bridie never really fully recovered after the 2nd time in Intensive care but remained comfortable and managed to raise a few smiles for Sue, Lee and the family.

On the 12th April 2010 Sue & Lee achieved their dream of getting Bridie home to Darenth Valley Hospital in Dartford, but Bridie sadly passed away on the 15th April 2010.

Bridie will be so sadly Missed, but will live on in our hearts forever.

 

Mitochondrial disease is a rare disease that needs much research into finding a cure.

Please help us and in turn the Lily Foundation, in raising money to find a cure for this tragic disease.

 

Thank you
