The parents of a baby named Robyn, who was born very tiny at just 11 ounces (328 grams), have finally brought her home after 18 months in the hospital.
Robyn was born five months early in March 2023 at Grange Hospital in Cwmbran, Torfaen, and she still needs special care all the time. Her parents, Chantelle (34) and Daniel (38) from Malpas, Newport, are raising money for her treatment. Chantelle said, “It’s like a dream come true to have Robyn home.”
Robyn was born at just 23 weeks and 2 days and was so tiny that she could fit in the palm of a hand. To keep her organs warm while she grew, she was kept in a sandwich bag.
After six months in the hospital, she spent another seven months in the pediatric intensive care unit at Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital in Cardiff. She then returned to Grange Hospital until she was finally discharged in September.
Chantelle, who works part-time as an accountant, said, “It’s just so nice to do normal family things… and just all be together under one roof.”
Daniel, a self-employed bricklayer, mentioned that it’s much less chaotic at home now. He has had to cut back on work to focus on taking care of his daughter.
Robyn gets oxygen and nutrition through tubes in her nose and mouth, and her vital signs are watched all the time. She takes 30 doses of medication each day.
Her mom, Chantelle, explained, “She can’t cough, so we have to suction her mouth and nose throughout the day when she needs it.”
Daniel described Robyn as doing well and enjoying the “peace” of being at home. He added that they do a lot of physical therapy and play with her to help her senses.
Chantelle said it was tough to bond with Robyn in the busy hospital ward, with doctors and nurses always coming in and out.
“All you can do is sit next to her and watch,” she explained, “keeping an eye on the numbers on the screen and hoping she will be okay.”
“When Robyn was born, we weren’t sure if she would survive.
“As time went on, she grew bigger and stronger, but she still faced many problems. It became clear that her brain damage would have a big impact on her.”
‘We know nothing is impossible’
“We didn’t learn about her brain damage until about six months after she was born,” Daniel said.
“You have all these plans for how life will be, and then everything changes,” he added.
“But we try to stay positive.
“We know that nothing is impossible for Robyn because she has been told so many times that she wouldn’t be able to do things or even survive, but she keeps proving everyone wrong.
“She’s full of surprises, and I believe she will create her own story.”
Viewers demand ‘jail time’ after streamer crashes McLaren whilst filming leaving his friend bleeding inside
The content creator was streaming at the time of the crash
observers have been left affrighted and demanding’ jail time’ after watching footage of banderole
and influencer Jack Doherty crashing his McLaren.
The 20- time-old YouTuber and happy creator has made captions after footage surfaced of him crashing his high- powered McLaren supercar into the rail on a binary expressway.
It would appear that Doherty had been live- streaming on Kick at the time of the crash, with footage from the incident latterly appearing online.
In the vids which have been participated on X- the content creator appears to be driving down a trace in heavy rain while putatively detracted by his phone. It’s unclear what exactly causes Doherty to lose control of his vehicle, as he begins to swerve to the right and smashes into the rail.
The videotape also cuts to the fate of the crash, where a shocked Doherty can be seen standing outside the auto blurting ‘ Holy s ** t’ before turning the camera towards his cameraman Michael, who’s bleeding from the face, and asking” Are you okay?”
” Oh my god bro, my whole f**king auto bro,” he adds, showing the auto rammed under the hedge with corridor of the bonnet bestrew across the road. He also hands the phone to his injured friend and asks him to continue recording.
Another videotape depicts the moment bystanders pulled Doherty and his friend from the auto.
substantiations saved the content creator and his friend from the auto while they continue rephotographing, with Doherty heard saying” My f**king auto, holy s ** t no.”
Doherty latterly participated updates on the fate of the crash on his social media accounts, attesting that both he and his cameraman Michael were n’t seriously injured in the incident, still, Michael did bear aches to his face.
The videotape creator has also posted an update on his own account, thanking everyone who reached out to check if he was okay after seeing the videotape.
While Doherty’s followers were relieved to see that he and Michael were safe a lot of people online were n’t impressed by the videotape and have called for the content creator to face impacts for his conduct.
” License suspended, jail time,” one person wrote on X.” This is well proved reckless driving. At a minimum he should be banned on all platforms for this.”
” reckless driving,” a alternate person reflected, while a fourth added” So your telling me he started recording the moment the crash happed yeah wtf.”
It would also appear that Doherty’s Kick channel has been removed in the wake of the incident, with a link to his runner now coming up with an error communication.
It’s unclear where exactly Doherty had crashed, a road sign spotted in his videotape suggests he was in Florida, still, it’s worth noting that all of the US countries( with the exception of Montana) have restrictions on using your phone while driving.
