Norwich, England – Rachel Cherry (30) and Adam (29) breathed a sigh of relief when they finally heard their son’s cries, Theo Babbage. They were extremely worried when they did not hear the baby’s cry.
The reason Theo couldn’t cry like other babies after birth was because he experienced cardiac arrest for 8 minutes. Theo’s body and skin had turned purple.
Realizing the patient’s abnormal condition after birth, doctors and medical staff immediately performed resuscitation procedures to reduce the risk of brain damage.
“At birth, the only thing you wanted to hear was your baby’s cry for the first time, but this time it didn’t. I kept waiting. I felt uncomfortable during that time,” Cherry shared.
The doctors tried their best to revive Theo’s heart. As soon as Theo’s heart started beating again, he was transferred to the intensive care unit. After Theo’s condition improved and was discharged from the hospital, he continued to be monitored by doctors and had to have regular check-ups, as the doctors still didn’t know the cause of Theo’s weakness.
“Even on the first night at home, he had a seizure. He was so weak, even when I took him home, he still had to be connected to some medical tubing, so he was so weak. I have to be careful. This makes me feel frustrated and nervous,” added Cherry.
Currently, Theo is 5 months old and determined to be healthy. His growth and development is amazing. According to Theo’s parents, the baby is able to live off the equipment and medical team at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH). Cherry and Adam are currently fundraising to buy a similar incubator.
Good news and hope returned to Rachel Cherry and Adam’s lives as their son Theo overcame his early struggles. Despite experiencing cardiac arrest for eight minutes after giving birth, Theo was revived and cared for by the medical team at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH).
After treatment and careful monitoring, Theo has improved significantly and is now determined to be healthy at the age of 5 months. Theo’s growth and development is an amazing feat, and his parents are grateful for the support from the dedicated doctors and medical staff at NNUH.
With the family’s unforgettable experiences, Cherry and Adam are now looking to raise funds to purchase an incubator similar to the one used to care for Theo. They hope that the device will help other babies, like Theo, have a chance to live and grow up healthy.
Despite their trials and tribulations, Rachel Cherry and Adam still believe that their boundless love and care will help Theo overcome all difficulties and have a bright future.
After Theo went through a rough first day of life, Rachel Cherry and Adam decided not to let their hardships hold them back. They are determined to dedicate and support Theo to ensure he receives all of the things he needs to thrive and thrive.
Theo needs special care and routine check-ups from doctors and medical professionals. The family has forged a special relationship with the medical team at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH), who have become a trusted companion in Theo’s healthcare journey.
