Little baby Jazmin's fund
Donation protected
Jazmin Michele was born on the 2nd of January 2016 at just 360g.
She was born at 25 weeks gestation and was classed as a "micro premi". She is the smallest single birth baby to be born in Tasmania.
My partner and I were told to expect the worst, the doctors didn't think she would make it.
But she amazed everyone from day one. She came out crying (which we were told she wouldn't do) and was rushed off to the NPICU in the Royal Hobart Hospital.
She had a puncture in her throat from a misplaced breathing tube and has a lot of trouble breathing even when the tube was placed, she required a ventilator 24/7 for a long time, but she was doing well, considering how bleak her chances had seemed.
But we still had to play it day by day, and she had her ups and downs. She's had infections from the many IV's they've used but they've cleared up with antibiotics. We've been told her lungs are scared and damaged because of her premature birth, and because she spent so long on a ventilator just to keep her breathing.
And now, most recently, we've been told, that when she comes home (somewhere after April 10th) she will most likely need to be kept on oxygen and have frequent visits to the hospital.
I've set this up, for Jazmin. I'd like to be able to buy her the essentials she will need for when she comes home, and to maybe cover some of the costs we may come across with her oxygen needs in future. I'd like to give her the best possible future I can, but with my partner and I both so far from home, and with very little money between us, this may be harder than expected. I would also like to try and give something back to the NPICU and its nurses/doctors for all the hard work they've put in, to not only save Jazmin, but the numerous other little babies spending their days in the unit.
The goal is of no concern, I just wanted to put a good number in, just incase people were eager to help.
I'm not asking for charity, I don't expect people to give to this at all, I just wanted to set this up, on the off chance, someone might want to lend a hand.
Any donation is greatly appreciated and I can assure you, all donations go straight towards Jazmin and her needs, the RHH Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and towards something for the wonderful staff.
Thank you for your time, and please feel free to drop me a message on Facebook if you ever want to talk.
