Theres no place like home-support the RMHC today!

Thank you for showing a interest in my blog! The Ronald McDonald House charity is a great charity, providing a free home to home accommodation and support to families with a sick child in hospital. Not many people seem to have heard of the RMHC so I would love to raise more awareness toward this charity!

Kian was born on then 27th March 2003, He was a healthy baby weighing at 7Ib 15oz, everything was fine for 3 weeks until Kian became sick, he was admitted to Torbay hospital where after 2 hours he was fighting for his life and put on a life support. The doctors said that he needed special support and the best place for him would be at Bristol children’s hospital, in the early hours of the night Kian was taken to Bristol hospital where he would there spend the next 4 days in intensive care and a further 3 days in hospital.

As you can imagine this was a very stressful time and upsetting time for Kians family, not only did they have their new born son in hospital but also a three year old daughter who had never been left on her own without her parents, this was a extremely stressful time.

Not wanting to leave their Childs bedside, Kians parents were offered a room in one of the Ronald McDonald Houses, they were told that their daughter could visit and stay also; this gave great comfort to the family to know that they could still be together. Kian was diagnosed with Bronchiolitis and was suffering with apnea. He went on to make a full recovery without any side effects. Kian is now healthy again playing football 5 times a week I know this as a fact as Kian is my little brother.

With the difficult situation my family went through, the help and support from the staff at the RMHC gave great comfort to my family and made the tough time we were going through a little easier
