Support Baby Melody
Baby Melody’s mum sets up fund-raising Facebook page for NARA. Melody was born 10 weeks premature and suffers from central apnoea where her brain forgets to tell her lungs to breathe. Her condition is directly relative to her premature birth. Hopefully she will grow out of this once her brain matures. Her first episode of not breathing was at 8 weeks old, whilst at home, her worried parents had to administer CPR until an Ambulance arrived with professional help. She suffered two more episodes whilst in hospital and both times needing CPR. Upon discharge, on Boxing Day, NARA – The Breathing Charity provided Melody’s parents with the monitor they needed for her. Just a couple of days later, Melody was rushed back into hospital having stopped breathing at 3am in the morning, her Dad gave her CPR and awaited the Ambulance arrival. She remained in hospital until the first week of February. To this day she still requires her monitor.
