A tiny baby weighed just 1lb 11oz and was so frail his mum could "see his heart beating through his chest" when he was born at just 24 weeks.
Zalena Bagnall, 41, thought she was simply rundown when she paid a visit to Leighton Hospital in the middle of lockdown in May 2020, but soon found herself being rushed into Arrowe Park Hospital in Wirral to give birth two months before her due date.
She said: "I couldn't believe it. I thought they'd mixed me up with another lady in the waiting room. I was so shocked I threw up. They said we had two options - try and save him, or let him go."
