Harry’s journey has been one of incredible challenges and resilience. My name is Charlotte, and I’m Harry’s mum. He was born with pulmonary atresia, a severe heart condition, and from day one, our world was turned upside down. After being airlifted to another hospital, Harry underwent multiple surgeries, including open heart surgery, to save his life.

Despite his battles, Harry’s strength and determination have amazed us. He quickly recovered, regained his playful self, and continues to thrive. However, his journey isn’t over, as we still face challenges ahead with his heart. But through it all, Harry remains our miracle.

His story is one of love, perseverance, and hope. We are forever grateful for the support of his doctors and for every precious moment with him.

When Manon was born, everything seemed perfect. She was healthy and full of life, but within hours, we noticed signs that something wasn’t right. Despite reassurances from doctors, her condition worsened—she was grunting, struggling to feed, and became lethargic. By day four, her feet were cold, and she wasn’t feeding properly. Trusting my instincts, I rushed her to the hospital, where doctors discovered she had a critical heart condition: coarctation of the aorta.

Manon’s condition was urgent, and she was immediately placed on life support. After a tense surgery to repair the defect, we were relieved to hear it had been successful. The following days were a rollercoaster of emotions, but Manon’s strength amazed us as she slowly recovered.

This experience opened my eyes to the importance of early detection of congenital heart defects. If Manon’s condition had been identified earlier, her treatment would have been easier. I’m incredibly grateful for organizations like Tiny Tickers, which raise awareness and train sonographers to detect heart conditions in newborns. Manon is now thriving, but we’ll never forget the journey that brought us here.

In December 2021, Louise and Ollie’s excitement over expecting their third child turned to fear when a 20-week scan revealed their baby had transposition of the great arteries (TGA), a life-threatening heart defect. Despite the grim news, surgery offered hope.

When Sebastian was born, he surprised everyone by breathing on his own, but his oxygen levels quickly dropped. After successful surgery and weeks in the NICU, he was able to go home just in time for Christmas.

Now two years old, Sebastian is thriving with a healthy heart and reaching all his milestones. His story is one of resilience, hope, and the power of early diagnosis.

His parents are forever grateful for the early detection provided by the oxygen monitor, which played a crucial role in saving his life.

On World Prematurity Day, I’m sharing the story of my son, Noah, who was born at just 25 weeks, weighing only 700 grams. From the moment he was born, his life was a battle, but Noah’s strength and resilience defied the odds. Despite being told to expect the worst, he fought fiercely in the NICU, growing stronger each day. After 130 days, we brought Noah home, but his journey didn’t end there. He faced multiple surgeries and continuous medical challenges, but his courage and ability to find joy in the smallest moments have been inspiring.

Noah’s development has been slower due to his early arrival, but every milestone—like holding his bottle or taking his first steps—is a victory. On this World Prematurity Day, we celebrate not only Noah but every preemie who continues to fight. We are forever grateful for the medical teams, family, and friends who’ve supported us. Noah’s journey is a testament to resilience, hope, and love.

Please join us in honoring all preemies by reading the full story in the comments below 👇.

In the midst of Sky's ICU stay, I turned to my mom for support. After days of stress, Grandma stepped in to care for Sky while I took a much-needed break at home. When I returned, I was amazed to find Sky awake and alert, with Grandma by her side, offering the love and comfort only a grandparent can provide. Her presence made all the difference in Sky’s recovery, allowing me to recharge and be there for my other children.

Family, especially grandparents, has been a lifeline during this challenging time. Their love and support continue to uplift us, giving us strength as we move forward.

To every grandparent, thank you for the magic you bring into our lives. 💖
