On 10th November 2016 our twin girls decided to come early, they were 28 weeks and 5 days when they were born. The team on ward 23 at North Tees Hospital were fantastic in caring for our girls they were so compassionate, caring and very patient (especially with me). Everyday they kept us up to date with the plans for our girls, helped us be able to care for them and helped us make precious memories that we will cherish forever. Sadly one of twin girls was very poorly and we lost our gorgeous angel Olivia, so those cherished memories are extra important to us. They supported us in so many ways and NeoAngels is a fantstic charity that supports ward 23, they support the staff and aid in equipment that is so importantly needed in caring for premature and sick babies. NeoAngels also support the parents and families of their poorly babies such as paying for parking, and help towards petrol and food vouchers given weekly.
Ward 23 and NeoAngels not only supported us and helped us and our girls and cared for them so well, they helped us through a tough time loosing Olivia aswell. They also made it so we got to bring our other baby girl home Emily. They got her feeding from a tube to a bottle, they helped her and Olivia through infections after infections. They got Emily regulating her own temperature, they got Emily from an incubator to a cot, from being on a ventilator to being on low flow oxygen. we truly cannot thank ward 23 and NeoAngels enough! So me and my good friend Paula are doing our part by doing this sponored slim to be able to give back to ward 23 and NeoAngels so they can continue to do great things and continue to take care of premature and sick babies! we are doing this also for our girls Emily Rose and In Loving Memory of our gorgeous angel Olivia Mary.
