"After around 45 minutes Lilly became floppy and started to turn blue in the face and was struggling to keep her sats up (went down to 50 per cent).
"The amazing neonatal team came within five minutes, tried oxygen which unfortunately didn’t work and then proceeded to intubate her there and then to keep her from dropping further, she was rushed away to the NICU all within 10 minutes of the team arriving.
"Lilly was cooled for 96 hours to protect her brain from any further damage than had potentially already been done and that she was having seizures these were monitored by little pins in her head (CFM). She was ventilated although breathing over it couldn’t get oxygen around her body properly so had nitric, Lilly had that many wires we didn’t know where to touch her.
"Lilly was really poorly and the team didn’t think she would make it past the first night, but she was the best fighter ever and smashed her NICU journey and was home after 13 days.
"Lilly is currently on anti seizure medication and folic acid for her haemoglobin levels and is absolutely thriving at home
"We cannot thank the NICU team enough for not only looking after and saving Lilly’s life but for saving ours too!
"Her MRI scan has come back clear indicating there has been no brain damage which we are so grateful about, although we need to wait to see how she grows and develops to know anything for sure, but either way, she’s absolutely perfect as she is."
