What a difference a day makes 😢😢

Yesterday my daughter and daughter-in-law were busy grumbling about how slow their first house purchase is taking and wishing it would speed up as they signed their contract 5 weeks ago.

Today my sweet DiL, who’s carry DD baby went into spontaneous labour and after waters broke and baby was upside down with umbilical cord separating, she had an emergency C section and then at 13:00 baby Henry was born at 24.9 weeks, weighing 1lb 6oz.

We are all hoping for a good outcome in the end, please pray to whatever God or spiritual being or keep your fingers crossed that baby Henry comes through this.

DD and DiL in shock and baby about to be transferred to a Neonatal Unit in a hospital nearly 40 miles away. This is their first baby and first try at IVF. He’s so tiny (I couldn’t see him but DD sent photos) 😢

I am praying that baby Henry will get over this and continue to thrive. ❤️ xxx

Hoping baby Henry and mums have had a good night, and for positive news very soon 🙏

Every best wish at this worrying time. 💐
I hope the doctors soon find the best way to treat the problems that have arisen, and that little Harry will continue to thrive in his own strong manner.

Sorry for typo, it's Henry, of course!!
Though I think they can be interchangeable!.

I was scared to open this thread today. Still sending love to Henry and all who love him. X

Just a quicky

Baby Henry is very very slowing recovering. Little more wee, tiny less swelling. 🩵🙏

He’s certainly a fighter, Cossy and he has an excellent team in his corner. Long may he continue to make progress👏👏!

I was worried about opening this thread.
So pleased baby Henry is slowly recovering. Wishing Henry all the strength he needs to get through this.

Hooray for more wee!!
Little lad has certainly had so many challenges, but he has battled them all, bless him.
