My story

Matthew was born on 14th April at an early 27 weeks. The worry from his parents, Kathryn and Mike along with Matthew's big sister Kaci-Leigh (by 8 months) was always reassured by the staff at Treliske NeoNatal. They worked tirelessly in Matthew's care and always reassuring with procedures being followed. Matthew only weighed 2lb 4oz but right away he was a strong fighter. Described as the best behaved, most contented and healthiest amongst the ward. On 9th May, Matthew showed signs that all was not well. Having various tests etc it was discovered Matthew had Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), A gastrointestinal disease that mostly affects premature infants, NEC involves infection and inflammation that causes destruction of the bowel (intestine) or part of the bowel. Thankfully Matthew was only poorly for a short time as the disease had hit him hard and fast. He passed away that evening as his parents reassured him that his pain was almost over. A poignent day that will never be forgotten.

In our useless feeling days that are following we are now setting up Matthew's memory where we hope to keep on raising funds for the NeoNatal ward that served Matthew to assist in any way all babies cared for here.
