Little Charlie's Story
On 19 Jan 2021, our lives changed forever when our little boy Charlie was born and flown to Perth for emergency surgery At 28 hours old.
Charlie had 34 cm of his small intestine removed due to a complication we now know was caused by cystic fibrosis. Over the first 2 months of Charlie’s life, we spent 7.5 weeks at Perth Children’s Hospital recovering from two major surgeries. Unfortunately, at 6 months old Charlie began to struggle with digestive issues leading him to be transferred from Bunbury regional hospital to PCH for intervention. Then came the dreaded first winter and Charlie struggled to get over two nasty respiratory viruses which again sent him to hospital this time for oxygen support and additional treatments.
Charlie is now 10 months old and has spent close to four and a half months of his young life in hospital. This coupled with daily physiotherapy treatments, medication routines and outpatient appointments has stolen time away from our family. Time where we should be snuggling our new born baby cooing over his tiny toes, attending baby sensory classes and walks in the sunshine with his big sister. Instead we have befriended doctors, nurses and the PCH cafe staff, walked the children bridge to kings park countless times and have a suitcase packed as a ‘go bag’ for emergency trips to Perth.
Throughout this journey we have been so grateful to receive support from Cystic Fibrosis WA. They provide emotional and financial support for families just like ours and continue to advocate for the cystic fibrosis community.
This giving day please dig deep so that one day CF will stand for Cure Found.
