Parents who lost their baby boy after he fought for his life for eight days are now raising money for the Swansea hospital ward that helped care for him. Thomas Jack Keeble, known as Tommy, was born nine weeks prematurely in October with a lung condition that sadly made him poorly. His proud parents Kath and Tim are now raising money for Singleton Hospital's NICU ward that helped care for their son.
Tommy, an IVF baby, was born on October 22 and transferred to Singleton Hospital in Swansea from Prince Charles Hospital in Bridgend just a few hours after he was born. He sadly passed away on October 30, despite Kath and Tim saying that the staff at the NICU had done "everything in their power" to help Tommy.
The couple, from Pontypridd, had lost IVF twins last year at around eight weeks into the pregnancy, and said that Tommy was "definitely a wanted little boy". The couple found out, at 20 weeks, that Tommy had a right foot talipes (also known as a club foot) and were told that he had a problem with his heart, which rectified itself later on.
