</div>
<div>PLEASE SEE BELOW HEARTBREAKING WORDS FROM SOPHIE .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Trigger warning, our distressing story about Harriet’s journey below (a little graphic). I’ve had time to sit on what has happened this last year and now coming to terms with what absolute trauma we are actually living (I’ve been in denial for a while ).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A year ago today our perfect little world was turned upside down. Our baby girl stopped breathing (again) and this time I thought we had lost her. We’d previously had one episode where she was crying with severe stridor and starting to go blue when we called an ambulance and had about 7 paramedics in our lounge room. She calmed, the hospital checked her over and we were cleared to go home. A week later, Shane had his first day back at work and We were simply driving home from Coles (mum was driving me as I’d just had a c-section 3 weeks prior). Harriet was crying because she was hungry and all of a sudden she went quiet. Great I thought, she has drifted off and we can get home to feed her. I turned around to see her in her mirror and I yelled at mum to pull over. Our girl was blue and not breathing. When I jumped out to pull her from her car seat she was clammy, limp and a shade of white/grey that will never leave my mind. I’ve seen death before and I thought she was gone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don’t know why but my instinct was to hold her upright and just cuddle her. All of our angels must have been there because she took a breath and we rushed her to hospital.
</div>
<div>We were taken straight to resus and had every available Doctor work on her for what seemed like hours.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When they couldn’t find anything immediate and her breathing settled we were transferred to the children’s ward (H1) where we stayed for a week seeing every specialist in the hospital. We had to start writing notes as Dr’s were speaking because there were so many avenues they were searching.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We finally saw ENT (our saviour Niall Jefferson) and he made plans for surgery for suspected severe laryngomalacia (Tully also had this but very mild). In the meantime, Harriet’s feeding was deemed unsafe and just as we had gotten over the initial breastfeeding hurdle, they placed and NG tube and was nil by mouth. She had a swallow study for a rare disorder called achalasia which was devastating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She had heart scans where the head cardiologist sat us down and told us Harriet has an aortic arch and is likely going to be flown to Westmead for open heart surgery. Our world was crumbling every day when they would pile on more bad news.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Surgery day came around and call it my denial but when we were taken to paediatric ICU I went in to shock when I learnt Harriet wouldn’t be leaving their care. For some reason I thought she would go back to the ward and our world would be ok. Dr Jefferson sat us down and told us that Harriet’s trachea (airway) was 90% closed (the size of a foetus) and he isn’t sure how she survived 3 weeks at home. We were to go in the next week for a reconstruction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From this first day in ICU Harriet was intubated and on life support as she couldn’t breathe on her own. I spent so many hours just sobbing that my heart had been ripped out and was laying in a griaffe bed in PICU. She was one of the most critical babies in the Hunter at that moment and I couldn’t do anything about it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her trachea was reconstructed by Dr Jefferson (along with Dr Kong in the room) and she returned to PICU. The next weeks were again the rockiest we’ve experienced. Her airway was so critical it took 2-3 nurses/Dr’s to move a 4 week old baby without compromising her airway.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During this time, Shane and I took turns each night of being home with Tully and being at the hospital. I pumped every 3 hours this entire time. It was bloody hard work and a huge slog but it was the only thing I could do for our girl. All the while I couldn’t drive and had to rely on some amazing friends and family to shuttle me to and from the hospital. What a huge time
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They tried extubation but our girl crashed and again, we near lost her. In the recovery process, Harriet became addicted to the pain medication and let me tell you, to have a 6 week old baby addicted to pain meds is utterly heartbreaking.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One morning I woke up to a quiet concern from a doctor and 2 nurses standing over Harriet. The Doctor asked me to try and rouse Harriet as her heart rate was dropping and she was unresponsive. As I stood there trying to get a response from her a CT scan was organised. She was rushed down and I was sat down to be told that they aren’t sure what is happening whether she had a seizure and they were checking for brain activity. Another moment etched in my mind for life. I msg’d Shane (because I couldn’t speak) and said get here NOW.
</div>
<div>Harri came back and seemed somewhat alert now which reassured my heart she would be ok. Later that day we were taken to the private meeting room and told that Harriet had accidentally been overdosed on her sedation drug. Obviously we were devastated but we have watched the level of care this whole time and saw how easily that mistake was made (the bottles were the same colour named nearly the same). They were so good in accepting the responsibility and making sure we were supported. Harriet returned to her normal stats later that morning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We kept at it and eventually graduated to come home with NG feeds. On top of all this, Harri has bi-lateral hip dysplasia which is very severe. We also learnt that she has no genetic abnormalities, her heart condition is somewhat ‘common’ and at this stage doesn’t require surgery and she doesn’t have achalasia (what a blessing).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Months later orthopaedics tried relocating her hips and placed her in a spica cast. After surgery I stayed the night in PICU and her airway didn’t cope. The Doctor made a met call (the emergency button on the wall) and Dr’s and nurses flew in to the room from every direction and told me to get on the bed and cuddle her (I look back now and assume this was a) to try to calm her but b) to be with her if things were not going to improve). Her saturation got to 34% (for us to go blue from not breathing our saturation (oxygen) dips below 90%). So things were dire.
</div>
<div>They worked hard, got her back and she improved from there. Unfortunately the hip surgery didn’t work so the cast came off as quick as it went on. We are now waiting for open surgery to remove bone, place screws etc but that won’t happen until her airways are stable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fast forward to Xmas time at Gympie and she again had a breathing episode where we called the ambulance and unfortunately, being a small town we had to guide the doctors in what care she needed and we were transferred to the Sunshine Coast children’s hospital. Shane and Tully picked us up from the car park with our new van in tow and we legged it home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve now had the news that Harriet’s airway is still narrowed and she needs another reconstruction but this time a tracheostomy will be placed to improve her recovery (because last time was too rocky).
</div>
<div>So now every day and every night I have a hospital bag packed ready to go if she stops breathing. We don’t venture far from home and we have emergency steroids on hand (they don’t give these out to take home normally) in case she needs them. Our reality is, we can’t let Harriet get too upset or her airway gets inflamed and obstructs. Every time she gets sick (which is a lot now that I work at a school) she deteriorates and we’re on high alert. She can’t go to daycare because of the risk so I need to cut my work days down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s been the biggest year of my life and as much as I’d like to forget, it’s a constant reminder of how lucky we are to have her
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While all this initially happened, Tully started kindergarten and did such an amazing job of keeping it together. She now has some anxiety issues around ambulances but is doing well. I myself can’t stand the sound of sirens and immediately come to tears when I see them fly past, a lasting impact of the trauma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A lot can happen in 12 months

Hearts For Harri 

<div>My name is Kash and I've created this fund-raiser for one of my best friends and her family who are going through a very tough time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About 2 weeks ago baby Theo become really sick on the way home from a holiday. He stopped breathing properly on the highway and he went into heart failure.
</div>
<div>Luckily they were only 15 minutes from Westmead children's hospital where he was rushed and was put straight into ICU.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Turns out he has an abnormal valve in his heart that was missed when he was discharged from hospital after his birth.
</div>
<div>He is so very lucky to be alive today and that his parents knew that something wasn't right.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has had 1 procedure on his little heart done already but his journey isn't over. Theo's time at the children's hospital is expected to be at least 4 months. This is 2 and a half hours from the family home which means Niki can't be with her 2 other children at home ( colton 2 and sophia 5)
</div>
<div>It has put a huge extra stress on her family as her husband being the sole income is unable to work his normal hours due to Mum being away. All up they are a blended family of 6 children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Theo is still in ICU. Niki hasn't been able to hold him for 2 weeks now. My heart is breaking for this Mum and her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know not everyone is in a position to donate money at the moment but If you can help out in any way that would mean the world to me and my friends family.

Please help Theo's family during his time in ICU.

Hi we are Lisa Zajac and Sarah Taylor the sister of two beautiful people Luci and Tim. We have decided to start this fundraiser to not only try and show support for Luci and Tim financially but to also raise awareness for breast cancer. <br />Please make sure you are having regular breast checks and if you notice or feel anything abnormal please follow up with a health professional. You know your body better than anyone. Do not take no for an answer if you feel something is not right.<br /><br />Here is Luci and Tim’s all too real story.<br /><br />Imagine being told you have cancer!<br /><br />Imagine being told you have grade 3 breast cancer at 32.<br /><br />Not only do you have grade 3 breast cancer at 32 but you are also pregnant with your second child at 30 weeks.<br /><br />Well this is currently the nightmare that our sister and brother Luci and Tim are living.<br /><br />Back in May2019 Luci found a lump in her breast and she consulted her GP regarding this who sent her off for the appropriate tests. Luci was put through an ultrasound and then a biopsy of the lump which came back as negative and benign. So as any young female would Luci put that behind her and continued to try and grow her family.<br /><br />Role forward to Dec2019 the lump was still there but it had grown quite significantly. Being just before Christmas Luci decided to wait and get the hectic period out of the way and go back for follow up in the New Year to go back to her GP once things had settled down. Once back in his office she explained to him what she was there for. He was quite concerned at this stage and rang for an urgent appointment to see the breast specialist. Luci seen him the Friday 10th January and he took yet another ultrasound and biopsy. He stated to our sister and brother that it didn’t look good but he would wait for the results to come back in to be sure.<br /><br />The specialist then rang Luci and Tim the following Monday 13th January with the devastating news that Luci in fact did have breast cancer as his suspicions were right. Luci, Tim and family were to make a plan when she seen him in his rooms that Friday 17th January. Luci was 30 weeks pregnant at the stage of the second ultrasound and biopsy.<br /><br />Dr Douglas is a fantastic breast surgeon and breast specialist who not only cares for his patients but also the family of his patients. We sat in his room on Friday 17th January and again he told us the devastating news. It is a fast growing grade 3 tumour that needed to be operated on ASAP. Dr Douglas only operates from the Mater Hospital but Luci was a special case and he agreed to get the appropriate paperwork to have the right to operate and see Luci in the John Hunter Hospital, after Luci’s obstetrician’s strong advice. Luci had made the decision to remove her left breast which wasn’t an easy decision for any women but it was a decision that she felt quite strongly about. Luci went in for left Mastectomy on Thursday 23rd January at John Hunter Hospital under the care of Dr Douglas and his team. She recovered extremely well from this surgery but this was down to the fact that she has everything to live for.<br /><br />During this hospital stay she met many doctors and the team that were going to care for her, including her medical oncologist Dr Lombard. Dr Lombard and Dr Park (Obstetrician) made the decision together that they would induce Luci at 33 weeks gestation and this would be done in at the John Hunter Hospital. This was a scary thought a baby being born 7-8 weeks early.<br /><br />We had a consultation with Dr Lombard at the Mater Hospital on Tuesday 4th February who confirmed induction for Wednesday 5th and took us through the chemotherapy medications and the possibility of radiation therapy afterwards. Luci will undergo a 2 medication regime over the next 5 or so months.<br /><br /> Luci was induced on Wednesday 5th February exactly 33 weeks. Luci hadn’t progressed during the day so the decision that night was made to do a caesarean section. Although this wasn’t the best option for Luci and Tim as this would hold back chemotherapy for another week, it was the safest.<br /><br />Baby Ada Amelia Mackersey was born Wednesday 5th February at 9:58pm. As family waited outside theatre and the delivery room for more information on Luci and baby Ada, Tim delivered what was the best news yet. Ada weighed a completely healthy 2kg. This was in fact a win being so premature and finally a win for the family.<br /><br />Luci was taken to her ward to recover and Ada taken to Nicu to be looked after by the best nurses and doctors. She will remain in hospital for some weeks yet.<br /><br />Luci was discharged home on Monday 10th February to recover enough for chemotherapy. Baby Ada stays in Nicu in the very good hands of the nurses.<br /><br />During all of this Luci had to take leave earlier than expected from her position and Tim has taken indefinite leave from his position to look after Zoe who is almost 3 and Baby Ada when she comes home, while caring for his wife who undergoes chemotherapy on a weekly basis.<br /><br />As you could imagine this causes a massive financial strain on the new young family who still have the regular bills coming in. By creating this page we are asking for support for our sister and brother in this time of need.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Again I cannot urge everyone enough to consider your own health, and get anything checked that might be unusual, family history or not, this disease does not discriminate.<br /><br />The strongest women are given these challenges in life, this doesn’t make it right but Luci is an incredibly strong and brave young women who will recover in leaps and bounds and we believe will have a happy and prosperous
