Calum Mackenzie was born at 1.59am on the 4th February 2011. His mother Margaret died just over four hours later at 6.20am. She was 37 years old. She was my wife for just over 12 years.
Calum suffered severe oxygen starvation and it was touch and go whether he would survive. This blog will record his progress. Calum has 4 siblings (ages at time of writing): Jane 11; Mark 10; Sarah 8; Paul 6.

Arrived back from funeral early evening yesterday. Brought Calum home from hospital immediately afterwards.
It brought his mother's absence home again.
This whole experience has been an emotional roller-coaster.
Good to hear Calum is at home with you - but I understand that his mother's absence is all the more difficult to bear - but God who is especially a God to this motherless child and also the other children will carry you through
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all- may the Comforter, the binder up of broken hearts, the 'Father' ((or mother) to the 'motherless', draw you all close under His sheltering wings of love. I imagine it will be in the quiet after the storm that your loss hits hardest- but it will also be where His voice and love are felt the most xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx So pleased you have your beautiful boy home with you xxxxxxxxx
