Vinny, Sally & Michael: When the joy of being new parents abruptly ends
“Our time enjoying life as new parents abruptly ended when Vinny was admitted to hospital at two months old.”
Michael and I welcomed Vinny into this world in November 2019. As new parents, we were both completely in love with our baby boy, and we felt like everything in life was perfect. I vividly remember looking down at Vinny as a newborn, and being so thankful for our healthy baby boy, and how lucky we were to be holding him in our arms.
