TWIN preemies born at 29 weeks
Donation protected
Hi all, my name is Brittney & I’ve started this GFM account on behalf of Olivia & Andre.
In the early hours of Thursday 14th September Olivia had to have an emergency c-section due to the placental abruption of one of the twins.
These beautiful twin babies were born at only 29 weeks.
A baby girl (Honey Beau) weighed 1.18kg (2.6 pounds) & a baby boy (Sequoia James) weighed 1.28kg (2.8 pounds)
Honeys bowel had perforated (ruptured) & required major surgery 4 days after she was born & now has a stoma & bag.
Sequoia struggles with Bradycardia (slowheart) & underdeveloped lungs. Sequoia is stable but not progressing with his lungs & heart just yet.
They are at seperate hospitals both in NICU which makes it very hard for Olivia
& Andre to be there for both of them 24/7. Petrol, food, general living continues to go on but circumstances make it hard for dad to return to work. Every day he’s fighting to be there for his babies & supporting his wife, Olivia.
The current ongoing care includes EPO hormone to boost RBC, cpap, iron infusions, stoma car for honey.
Honey needs to remain in a surgical ward & is expected to be in there for months until her gut is able to absorb nutrients and is strong enough for her next surgery.
This beautiful family have a long road ahead of them financially with ongoing expenses so if we’re all able to even donate just $10, together we can all make the biggest difference.
Let’s support Liv & Dre & bring those babies home safely
