Tiny Tia-Jane's super-human fight for life
Read the great article and view the video on tiny Tia-Jane’s super-human fight for life, as covered by the Sunday Star Times here.
Her mother, Wellingtonian Alysha McVeigh, went into labour only 22 weeks and five days into a pregnancy that was her only chance of a child.
Our huge thanks to Adrian and Alysha McVeigh for sharing the story of Tia-Janes arrival and time in the Wellington NICU and then home.
Also, some images of their time in NICU enjoying precious Kangaroo Cuddles with Tia-Jane:
Thanks so much for sharing your personal story!
We get a lot of positive feedback from families in a neonatal unit who read these stories and feel strength, hope and positivity knowing that they are not alone going through these experiences and feeling certain emotions.
If you would like to discuss sharing the story of your neonatal journey, we’d love to hear from you.
