Co Antrim mum on life in a neonatal unit as son born at 28 weeks

Listening to the whirl and beep of machines in the neonatal unit, Tori Drain watched her son hooked up to devices and dreamed of being able to pick him up and bring him home.

Born weighing just 2lbs 10ozs at 28 weeks, Ted was barely the size of Tori's hand when he arrived on April 15 this year. With a long road ahead, Tori and husband Aaron entered the unknown as Ted was admitted to ICU.

Fast forward to today and Ted is at home in Jordanstown and thriving with his family, thanks to the care he received in the neonatal units at both the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital and Antrim Area Hospital.
