Steps for Sully

NICU Ward??? What is that? 
Well until our grandson Sully Hendrix Minchin was born 107 days early, we had no idea what NICU was.
 We now have a very clear understanding of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit here in Darwin. 
It is where Sully has received 24/7 Care by the wonderful teams of doctors and nurses (Sully’s Angels)
It is where Premmies are attached to many machines which are constantly monitoring with “bleeps, bips and burps” sounding out any anomalies of the babies hearts, lungs, oxygen saturation levels and blood pressure. 
Their temperature controlled cots are Scientific bubbles! The amount of monitoring equipment that is needed for each baby is astounding. 
This is LIFESAVING TECHNOLOGY and we are eternally thankful!!!!
Sully has moved to an Open Cot now as he has made amazing progress in his first x3 months earth side. 
We are fund raising for our NICU in Darwin for ongoing equipment to save little ones who, for no fault of their own arrive way before their anticipated birth date. 
Heartfelt THANKS for Stepping Up  to donate. 
Nanna, Grandpa and all our family 

This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge

I’ll be clocking up my kms in the Premmie Marathon Challenge to raise funds for life-saving neonatal equipment that will give critically ill and premature babies a better chance of survival, in the Darwin NICU Ward.

You can help either by joining the Premmie Marathon Challenge too (www.premmiemarathonchallenge.com), or making a tax-deductible donation here.

Your donation will help keep me motivated as I complete my ‘marathon’ through November, knowing that each km I complete is helping save the lives of sick and premature babies.
