A life-saving double-lung transplant that meant she could meet her daughter 🫁👶

A 37-year old woman from Rotherham has paid tribute to NHS staff after life-saving care not only saved her life, but gave her the chance to meet her daughter.

Aimee’s family had a history of heart and lung problems: her father died at the age of 38 from lung disease while her sister was born with a congenital heart condition and later underwent a heart and lung transplant but died aged just 21.

Until early 2025 Aimee was fit, healthy and a professional dancer who led an active lifestyle. She initially attended A&E at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust struggling to breathe, where she was diagnosed with pneumonia. While being treated she discovered she was three weeks’ pregnant and scans also revealed significant lung abnormalities.

Over the following weeks her condition rapidly deteriorated and with her symptoms worsening, Aimee required specialist care at The Royal Papworth Hospital

At just 24 weeks and five days’ pregnant, Aimee went into premature labour while in the critical care unit. Her daughter, Jessica, was delivered and immediately transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) weighing just 705g in Addenbrookes Hospital (The Rosie)

Days later, Aimee suffered a cardiac arrest. She was resuscitated, put onto the most advanced form of respiratory support, called ECMO, and urgently added to the lung transplant list.

Thanks to the gift of organ donation, it wasn’t long before Aimee received a life-saving double-lung transplant.

After a long and extremely challenging recovery, Aimee returned home in September, while Jessica was transferred to the NICU at Doncaster Royal Infirmary to be closer to Aimee.

In December 2025, exactly five months after her early arrival, Jessica was discharged home in time for her first Christmas.
