Baby Finley's start to life may have been rocky, but his move closer to home was made easier thanks to Caboolture Hospital and the new neonatal unit.

In line with World Prematurity Day yesterday, we are pleased to report that baby Finley is doing well after being born at just 29 weeks, and went home recently! 

Finley spent more than nine weeks at RBWH, where he received CPAP and oxygen support. He was then transferred to Caboolture Hospital's rooming-in rooms recently, where he continued to develop and grow. 🐣

“My car was broken, so I was getting public transport between Caboolture and Brisbane every day,” Finley's Mum Clare said.

“Finley’s Dad was struggling to see him due to work commitments, but when he came here, he could see him a lot more.

“The nurses are amazing and right there when we need them, and to now have support so close to home means everything.” 🩷

"I had my first seizure at 18 months; it was mostly manageable until we moved to Australia in my 30's. I had a shunt put in, in 2019, but my condition deteriorated, and I was having on average 30 seizures a week. I couldn't work or hold down a job because of this, which affected me greatly. I had my last seizure on the day that I had drug resistant focal epilepsy surgery and have been seizure free ever since. During my time as a patient, I would watch the health teams and realised that the work they do every day really matters. It's incredibly important and it became my goal to work here at the hospital. With help from some of the neurology team, I now work as an advocate and AO, working through seven departments here at RBWH, including neurology. I love this hospital."

💭 Monday Mantra, former RBWH Neurology patient and current staff member Neil.
