A family's world was "put on hold" when their newborn son was rushed to intensive care after being born more than two months prematurely.
Emily and Dave McFerran, from Leasowe, welcomed baby Stanley on May 14, 2021. Born at just 31 weeks, Stanley was taken straight to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Wirral Women and Children’s Hospital, where he was put on a ventilator.
The family was able to stay close to Stanley throughout his five-week stay in hospital thanks to Ronald McDonald House in Arrowe Park. The charity provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation for parents with sick children and premature babies being treated at the hospital.
