"My baby being born at 27 weeks "

I went in to labour at just 27 weeks. I went to Wigan infirmary and I had a lovely little boy. He was taken straight to neonatal, where he was fighting for his life. He was only 2 pound 2. He had a grade 2 bleed on his brain, chronic lung diseases and he had a problem with a valve on his heart (which was narrow). He was in an incubator, with all wires coming for everywhere on him.

I was heartbroken, not knowing if my baby was going to live or not. Machines were going off all the time. The nurses would be there all the time, without fail. They were really good and I just can’t repay them for what they did for him. I thank them with all my heart. The main nurse, Katy, she was brill. She even give him a nickname.

My little boy had blood transfusions and would stop breathing all the time. He was in there till he was 5 and half months old, then I was allowed to take him home on his oxygen. He was on oxygen till he was 9 months old, when we I cut it down and down until he could breathe on his own. Now he is a healthy little boy. Thank you to all how worked with him on neonatal.
