This is Frankie, he was born premature in April and has spent almost all his life in hospital. In October Frankie developed RSV and was transferred to Birmingham Children's hospital.

Due to the severity of the infection his mum and dad were warned that he was unlikely to recover. Frankie doesn't listen to the doctors and continues to prove everyone wrong. Ten weeks on from admission Frankie is still with us, capturing the hearts of all the nurses caring for him in PICU. (Paediatric intensive care unit)

During this difficult time, Frankie's mum and dad, Chloe and Connor have been supported by Ronald McDonald House, a charity which provides free, safe, comfortable accommodation for families with children in hospital. The Birmingham house is right next door to Birmingham's Children's hospital and has allowed them to stay as close to their baby boy as he undergoes medical treatment.

To sat thank you for this wonderful service, we will be raising funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities UK this Christmas. Any support you can give will be very gratefully received.
