Story
Dave is participating in a half marathon in May to raise money for Scunthorpe Nicu ward. Our gorgeous boy was born 5weeks and a day early and we would like to raise money to give back to the ward that helped Ollie. The nurses have been excellent and gave Ollie the best care and support, but not only for him but for us as parents. My first born son gave me a shock coming early so spontaneously. I didn't get chance to have that first skin to skin cuddle straight after instead I saw my boy get taken straight away to Nicu as he was born in shock and needed emergency attention. After 6 hours I got to finally see him and was told he had a leaky lung and still had to wait for that first cuddle. After couple of days his lung healed all by itself (such a clever boy), and after that he suffered jaundice 5 times. He was in his incubator for just over a week then moved into a heated cot, then he got to be off the heated blanket and soon got to come home after 13 days. Without the support from the staff and excellent care from the doctors and nurses I wouldn't be this strong for him and we have a strong boy who is progressing really well. The nurses supported me breast feeding, getting started and without them I wouldn't been able to do it so successfully. The staff treated us part of the family and allowed us to feel welcomed. We are so lucky to have our little boy in our lives.
We ask kindly for donations and always will be grateful. Let us give something back to help the premature babies.
Thank you
