After I had gone in for a quick check up due to having pains early at 27 weeks and 5 days, Ella was born by emergency caesarean section, at East Surrey hospital, where she went straight into a special care incubator and onto oxygen. We tried to understand what had just happened, and why our baby daughter had come so early, but we were also delighted to have the baby girl we had been expecting for 7 months. Ella stayed in special care in East Surrey for 19 days, but then had to be moved to Queens Charlotte and Chelsea Hospital as she was having problems with her lungs. An infection that Ella had been fighting was spreading, and too late it was realised that it was taking a heavy toll. Ella died aged 22 days, and we miss her deeply and think about her every day. We’re raising £22,000 for Bliss in memory of Ella, £1,000 for every day we got to spend with her, and whatever you can contribute will be greatly appreciated.
