Our 1st born son Thomas was born weighing 900 grams ....
Thomas fought for 8mths in neo natal..he suffered NEC infection, various infections, major eye lazor surgery, hernia operation..but then had another infection which got his blood stream and he suffered from septecima and had respitary failure....we had to make the worse descion any parent could make.....we turned his life support machine off...
Our life forever changed and our hearts broken forever.
