While most parents think the birth of their newborn is a miracle, 18-month-old Rameo Buffong is the epitome of the word. Born two months early weighing just 2.5 kilos, parents Adrianne Katramanos and Teon Buffong were given the devastating news that their son was only expected to live for 48-hours.
Within seconds of his birth, it was clear that the Rameo wasn't breathing properly and he was rushed to intensive care. All while his desperate mother was haemorrhaging and ended up needing emergency surgery. While Adrianne, from Cardiff, was undergoing her own procedure, the neonatal team surrounded Rameo desperately trying to get a tube down his tiny nose to help him breathe.
After days of trying to work out what was wrong with the tiny baby, Rameo was rushed to specialists in London's Great Ormond Street Hospital where he underwent a risky seven hour operation at just seven days old.
