He was born with a condition called Duodenal Atresia, his tummy and bowel were disconnected. This wasn’t picked up on scans but I noticed something wasn’t right when he was 24 hours old and hes been gone since then.

H es had his surgery on Sunday just gone, he’s recovering well but he is in the childrens hospital over an hour away. My husband stays with him every day/night as I stay home with our 4yo and 21mo. I send breast milk every second day, I can’t drive as recovering from c section.

I feel so broken and torn that I can’t be there all the time. I feel like I’m having to choose between our children and our new born and it’s just so hard. I feel empty without them when I’m in the hospital too with our baby 😩 I miss my husband so much and just want our family to be together as 5.

He will hopefully come home for the first time at the end of next week but it feels so far away 😞

My boy Tadhg ☘️ - he is tube fed until he gets to 16ml a day, he was up to 7ml today. (they increase his feed every six hours by 1ml)
