Donegal mum praises Crumlin Hospital staff after saving baby's life days after birth
Bella Ward gave birth to twin girls five years ago at just 34 weeks but disaster struck a week later when one became critically ill.
“She told us Kayleigh was in a critical condition. It was terrifying. We didn’t know what was happening.“We knew something serious was wrong with Kayleigh’s heart and a team from the Rotunda stabilised our baby girl so she could be airlifted to [Dublin’s] Crumlin Hospital.” She said her mother was wonderful and took care of her other three children who were aged five, three and 10 months.
“She had her aorta ballooned and seemed to be doing well but the day we were planning to take her home we got a call to come in immediately – her condition had deteriorated rapidly.
