Lewis Marshall

Please donate to CHAS in lieu of any presents.

The longest month……Lewis Marshall was born one month ago on his big brother’s 4th birthday, but became unexpectedly critically ill after delivery. After a couple of days at Wishaw and an emergency transfer to the QEUH, we eventually landed in Robin House 3 weeks ago, expecting him to last a few days. I could never have imagined what a fantastic place this is. We’ve been able to spend time as a family, and introduce Ben to his little brother. Unfortunately, Lewis’ illness has meant he suffered a hypoxic brain injury, and the future is uncertain. But he’s exceeded expectations so far and we love him dearly whatever the future holds. Robin house have been instrumental in getting us to the point of going home tomorrow and we couldn’t be more grateful.

In lieu of any presents for Lewis (we already have the essentials from when Ben was a baby), we would appreciate a donation to CHAS, so they can continue to help us and other families.
