I want to thank all the staff at the Royal that cared for Rachel and I. There are too many to name – from Brian (my guardian angel) the wardsman who always seemed to be there with a smile when I needed help, the receptionists who considered every request as important, the nurses and midwives who cared for Rachel and made me feel confident in caring for her, the doctors who always took the time to answer all my questions (repeatedly) until I understood, and Donna Bostock who led Team Rachel to victory.

A heartfelt Thank you to all the Doctors, Staff, Nurses,Caregivers and even the janitor who you got to know on the long nights sitting next to our baby in the NICU and all who dedicate their knowledge to not only and job, but to saving the lives of all precious babies who come into the world earlier than they should.

Without the The Grantley Stable Neonatal Unit at RBWH our precious baby would not have survived entering the world at 717grams.Our prays and baby’s life we handed over to the doctors and staff of RBWH and they did not fail us. A massive thank you to Dr Cartwright and all the doctors and staff who we bonded with and entrusted the care of our child to. Thank you so much for saving his precious life. Also, a massive thank you to all the doctors and surgeons over at the Royal Childrens Hospital for the miracles they performed.

Last but not least a mention needs to be made and thanks for the Ronald McDonald House next to RBWH for taking us in and providing a facility to call a home away from home for the manys months we stayed there. Definately the hardest moment in our lives was made a little easier with your support, care and understanding. We thank you for the gift you’ve given us.
