Hi I’m Lukas mum Tayla and this year we welcomed our little Luka to the world. At around 25 weeks pregnant I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and over the next few weeks became very sick. I was suddenly ordered on bed rest and unexpectedly starting my maternity leave. At 28 weeks Luka was also becoming too sick and to save us both the doctor's rushed us into an emergency cesarean. Luka was born at just 800grams due to inter uterine growth restriction and had a lot of growing and fighting to do. We spent the next 98 days in the NICU where he fought hard everyday and did his parents so proud!
As you can imagine this time was very hard, but with Life’s little treasures we received items such as mindful packs, milestones cards that helped us celebrating the big wins in the NICU, or little fabric hearts that made me feel a little more at ease to leave my baby as I knew he could have mums smell nearby when I couldn’t be there. Things like these mean the world in the NICU.
This year I am walking for Prems to help fund Donations to Life’s Little Treasures Foundation who provide much needed programs and services to vulnerable families with premature and/or sick babies. This includes items such as our Precious Prem Packs and guide books for families in hospital.
