Parents have issued a heartfelt thank you to the 'unsung heroes' at Nottingham City Hospital who saved the life of their daughter who was born without a pulse. Police officer Robin Gurney and his partner Sianne welcomed their twin daughters, Orla and Freyja, into the world on December 18, 2020, at Nottingham City Hospital.
It was a testing time for the couple who explained young Orla, who was second born to sister Freyja, "came out with no pulse". They were on the neonatal ward for nearly a month, and Mr Gurney said: "If it wasn't for them she wouldn't have made it." Baby Orla required lots of CPR and medical intervention.
But she's now thriving and Mr Gurney is raising money for the hospital by taking on a gruelling 36 hour triathlon. Mr Gurney, 27, said: "They were the nicest people you could have met, all the staff, doctors, nurses, reception staff, everyone was brilliant."
