On 13th June at 2:52am, Ruairi Thomas Andrew Carte made his entry into the world via emergency c-section and was immediately admitted to the NNU at the LRI. On the 17th June, we were given the devastating news that he was not expected to live. Ruairi however, surprised us all and showed us just how strong and determined he is to be here. Nearly 5 months later we are no closer to a diagnosis and have no clearer idea of his life expectancy. As such, we’re taking each day as it comes and giving Ruairi all the love and cuddles we can. Ruairi is currently back in hospital where he has been for the last 9 weeks. Hopefully he’ll be home soon. Since Ruairi’s arrival, our family have been humbled by the love and support we’ve received from our friends and family. We dont know what lies ahead but with the possible treatment options in America and the hope he will return home to a house that will need adapting to cater for his needs....we are asking for any donations to help us give Ruairi everything he needs and deserves xxx With 💕 and thank you xxx
