Why I'm completing the Challenge
I've committed to completing a 42km 'Run for Premature Babies Marathon Challenge' in November! This challenge is raising funds to purchase himidicribs which are used to care for premature babies and give them a better chance for survival. These lifesaving himidicribs will be purchased for the Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney and the Alice Springs Hospital neonatal units.As you'd all know our little Oliver spent 140 in the Neonatal Unit at Flinders from March to August this year. Oliver spent over half of his 140 days in the unit in one of these himidicribs, also known as an incubator or isolette. Oliver wouldn't have been able to survive if he didn't have access to one of these specalised humidicribs. It provided him a warm, controlled, safe, clean enclosed environment where he could be observed and cared for and in it he had many procedures such as x-rays and scans taken right there without him having to be moved. Incredibly, he even had his first bowel perforation surgery in the crib with the canopy raised. This reduced the risks to him, he was able to stay in his crib and his room rather than having to be transferred to theatre when he was in such a vulnerable state.
When he was extremely sick and too fragile to cuddle we were able to hold his little hand and touch him knowing it wasn't causing him stress or using up vital energy until we were finally able to have our first cuddle when he was 38 days old.
Being able to give back and help to raise funds to be able to help other babies have access to this equipment and a better chance of survival has become very important to me. For Oliver's to stay in the NICU cost up to $10 000 a day and we are ever so grateful for the incredible care he received from the incedible nurses and doctors who has access to this equipment in the unit and I want other babies in this situation to be given the same opportunity.
I'd love for you to support me in this challenge. It'll certainly be a challenge for me as I haven't been very active for the past 12 months! Any amount you're able to spare will add up and help support these little lives xxxx
