‘We’ve cried a lot, we’ve barely slept, and we’ve discussed the worst… but we’ve carried each other through possibly one of the most traumatic weeks of our lives..
‘You never think it would be your baby and honestly I can’t explain how awful it is having to leave your poorly baby behind in a hospital and go home and just be ‘mummy’ to your other children when inside your heart is breaking.
‘We are so lucky we are able to alternate nights with Tre and the kids so we can share ourselves between all 3 kids and keep some normality for the bigger 2.
‘It’s been tough but we’ve done our best for our babies. All we need now is our family back together where we belong.
‘We are over 5 days in and we finally have a stable temperature. Things are looking positive for Tre Tre and we are finally seeing an improvement.
‘Our super brave strong boy has had all sorts of blood tests, a lumber puncture and constant prodding and poking this week but there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel and we cannot wait to get him home where he belongs.
‘We still don’t really have answers and it’s another week ahead of antibiotics but he’s on the right path and we are just keeping positive.’
