Iced Iced baby

When Rebecca was 36 weeks pregnant, the doctors diagnosed her a life threatening condition pre-eclampsia.

She gave birth to Lily, and she struggled for breath because after 30 minutes her brain starved of oxygen and it may swell.

The dangerous treatment which Lily needed to stop her brain swelling, could have killed her.

Lily’s life was saved when the doctors put her in a cooling bag after she was born.

After two weeks she was allowed to go home.

Lily, who will be three in August, is still small for her age, but has made a strong recovery.

From my point of view, Lily had much luck, and I wish all the children who suffer some disease can be cured.
