An overview of why I am doing this - my twin great nephews, Harley and Fraiser, spent the first 3 & 7 months of their lives (respectively) in The Oliver Fisher Special Baby Unit at Medway Hospital when born at 31 weeks on 7 May 2010, weighing 3lb 14 and 3lb (respectively). 
Harley required a few blood transfusions and support with his breathing, but it was a matter of building up his weight and becoming strong enough to come home, unlike his brother. Fraiser became extremely unwell as he had something called Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) http://preemies.about.com/od/preemiehealthproblems/f/nec.htm
Fraiser spent time between Kings college hospital and The Oliver Fisher Unit, he had emergency surgery to remove part of his bowel and needed a stoma. During this time he contracted staphylococcus and was also having problems with his liver due to the concoction of drugs he was on. He had many blood transfusions throughout this time also.

Fraiser was home for the first tim mid-September 2009 - he spent a week at home and a week on the families first holiday together in the west country, with the day after returning home Fraiser went back into hospital for his final operation to reverse his stoma. Even then it wasn’t going straight in straight out, as he took time to recover, worrying his family!

Late October, Fraiser was finally well enough to join his family at home where he belongs. He has since been well and is a extremely cheeky and healthy little boy, just like his brother Harley!

So please dig deep and donate now.
