Story
Freddie was born at 24 weeks and 6 days (30/09/15) . He was a twin to our beautiful Rocco who we lost just hours after being born. Freddie was our surviving twin who has spent the last 15 months being the happiest baby, along with chronic lung disease and on nasal cannula oxygen 24/7.
8 weeks ago we took him to the hospital (03/12/16) where he was diagnosed bronchiolitis and quickly deteriorated . He was intubated and taken to Addenbrookes paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) on the 07/12/16 where they discovered he had a heart condition (pulmonary hypertension) causing his pressure in his lungs to be very high, as well as a reasonable sized hole in his heart (asd).
A few weeks into our stay things started to improve, Freddie was moved from an oscillator to a ventilator with nitric oxide to help with the pressures in his little lungs. Things seemed to then come to a stop and Freddie started to deteriorate further and further over the last week, until he then had taken too much, fought so so hard for so long and he fell asleep on Thursday (26/01/17) forever.
The 8 long painful weeks Freddie was fighting in Addenbrookes we were given a 'home from home' to stay in funded by the 'Sick Children's Trust' we would like to thank them along with PICU for being amazing the whole way through, not only to Freddie but to us all as a family.
Any donations towards a wonderful send off and a little break for the family would be greatly appreciated.
All our thanks, Freddie's family.
