Biography

Harry was born prematurely after I had a placental abruption. He was delivered via emergency c-section and went straight to NICU. Harry was put onto CPAP to help with breathing and then under light therapy to help with jaundice. He was diagnosed with a hole in his heart and monitored.
He then progressed slowly and well. A week after his birth he contracted sepsis and developed a rash over his body. This set him back slightly but once he had recovered he progressed and was discharged over 3 weeks later.

Fast forward to his first birthday we started to worry about his progression. He was failing to keep up with his peers and I took Harry to the doctors. They referred us to the hospital and he had an MRI scan. This led to the discovery of a PVL and brain damage has affected the gross motor skill section of his brain. Subsequently he had a diagnosis of quadriplegic cerebral palsy.

It has been a struggle for Harry but over the past three years his speech has developed as well as his ability to sit on his own and roll. He can stand with support and walk with a walker. This has only been possible through intensive physio weekly. He is our little miracle
