A boy striving every day thanks to his mother and loving siblings - Written by his mother

I went into spontaneous labour at 27 weeks. A week prior to that I went for my antenatal check and my
gynecologist discovered I was having contractions. I was then admitted to hospital to delay labour and I was given an injection of a lung maturation drug.
I was rushed to hospital and our son was welcomed into the world via EMERGENCY c-section. To my understanding he was resuscitated and was immediately taken to the NICU. He was ventilated and after a few days things were going well and they moved him to CPAP. On the very same evening I was called to hospital because my son had a massive pulmonary hemorrhage as well as a massive bleed in the brain. Doctors were not sure if my son was
going to survive. He also developed sepsis and everything just went wrong. My son was in the NICU for 3 months and now has a severe intellectual disability.
After his discharge he was admitted to hospital several times with lung infections, he had many antibiotics and steroids in his early years of life.
