A remarkable couple from Carluke, David and Kimberley Wayt, have donated a Cuddle Cot to the Emergency Department at University Hospital Wishaw in memory of their baby boy, Braylon.
A Cuddle Cot is a special cooling system that allows bereaved parents precious time with their baby and to say goodbye in a private and dignified way. This Cuddle Cot will now be available in our Emergency Department for any family who needs it.
Kimberley said: “When Braylon died, everything happened so quickly and we felt so helpless. We hope this donation will make things a little easier for other families going through the same pain. It’s our way of keeping Braylon’s memory alive and helping others.”
Senior Charge Nurse Nicola Martin added: “We are so grateful for this incredible gift and the lovely tribute to Braylon. Their generosity will make a real difference for families during the most difficult times.”
Our heartfelt thanks to David and Kimberley.

This week’s comes from the family of a patient who received care at the Briar Clinic in Stonehouse.

Following a brain injury and stroke, they describe being immediately struck by the friendliness and warmth of every member of staff - a feeling that continued throughout the first five weeks of care. They also praised the unit’s state-of-the-art facilities and the confidence it gave their family in the rehabilitation journey ahead.

“You are giving us a future that looks so much brighter - and more importantly, the life you are giving my wife.”
