Sometimes, life changes in a single heartbeat.
My pregnancy with Oscar was filled with dreams and plans — until the day doctors told us he had a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. In that instant, hope and fear collided, and our journey into the unknown began.
Oscar arrived far too early — at just 26 weeks, weighing only 680 grams. He was tiny enough to fit in the palm of a hand, yet strong enough to fight battles most adults could never face. Surgeries, infections, endless machines beeping through the night — his first months were a test of endurance for us all.
There were days I thought I couldn’t go on. Days when exhaustion and helplessness took over. But in those darkest moments, kindness appeared. Ronald McDonald House Charities UK gave us a place to stay just steps away from Oscar. They didn’t just offer a bed — they gave us strength, comfort, and a reminder that we were not alone.
Day after day, Oscar fought.
And after 135 long hospital days, we finally brought him home.
That walk out of the hospital doors, holding our son in our arms, felt like stepping into a miracle. Every tear, every prayer, every sleepless night suddenly made sense.
Oscar’s story isn’t just about survival.
It’s about faith in the impossible.
About love that refuses to surrender.
About tiny hearts that carry enormous courage.
If you’re facing a battle today — remember Oscar.
Sometimes the smallest fighters teach the world the greatest lessons:
Never give up.
