Story

We are raising money for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, at the NNUH, to show our appreciation for all their amazing work with helping our Son Theo.

 After a long labour and complications at birth, Baby Theo was finally born. He was delivered by emergency caesarean, and was clearly in a very bad way. He had no heart rate and was pale and floppy.  The NICU team finally got Theo’s heart started after 8 minutes and he was immediately incubated and transported to NICU after a frantic 20 minutes. It is here where he received the most amazing care and support over the next 12 days.

Thanks to them he is now 5 months old and is doing really well. We would like to to give something back to show our appreciation. 

The award-winning Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital is a highly specialist unit looking after the needs of premature and critically ill babies.

The NICU is one of only three specialist neonatal units in the East of England. It is one of the busiest in the region and they staff look after more than 850 babies a year.

Our aim is to try and raise £10,000 to put towards a new incubator, so that the ward can continue to give the highest standard of care, and hopefully more  babies will be as lucky as Theo was.
