I mentioned last week that I had been in touch with the "Cots for Tots" appeal at St Michaels. The aim is to raise £1 million to provide 4 life-saving cots and a new intensive care Suite at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St Michael’s Hospital Bristol and a Family Accommodation Suite close by –and they need your help.

Until you have experienced a NICU first hand it is hard to comprehend the amount of equipment, surgeons, doctors, nurses and support staff that are needed to get these babies through their first few days weeks and months. Each person does the most amazing job under a massive amount of pressure with anxious parents watching and scrutinizing their every move. They are an amazing group of people and it is such a shame that due to lack of equipment they have to turn away babies that really need the care that St Michaels can offer. The equipment is state of the art but the rooms and parents rooms are in dire need of modernising.
Anyway, watch the video and if you could find a few pounds to donate to the appeal it will in the end make such a difference to many babies and parents for many years to come...one day it might be your baby or somebody in your family that needs treatment.
