“Leo has been amazing. We spent 3 months in the hospital. He came every weekend to visit his little sister. He distracted Ella with teddies during her daily injections. Then ran his first fun run, raising £1,200 for Cots for Tots.” 💖Leo, we are honoured to call you a #HIHero

Did you see the purple hoops? 💜 Thank you to our fantastic colleagues at the neonatal intensive care unit and to @CotsforTots for helping us mark #WorldPrematurityDay with our families 😊
This Sunday, we’re celebrating #WorldPrematurityDay. 💜 This year, we've funded purple books and Miniboos to promote bonding, and cards with tiny inkless foot and hand prints, as a special keepsake. 🥰 We’d love to hear about your prematurity journey in the comments. @uhbwNHS

Look at this little fighter go! 💙 We spoke to Louis' mum about his hospital journey when he was just a baby: grandappeal.org.uk/patient-s… This brave boy has been beating the odds his whole life.
Little Louis, from Cornwall, who was born with half a heart, has just woken up after having another heart op at Bristol Children's Hospital, so he starts singing @eltonofficial's classic "I'm Still Standing". Do RT to spread the joy Read the full story 👇: bristolpost.co.uk/news/brist…

Happy Birthday Seth! 🥳 It's always so lovely to see how former patients are getting on 🤗 #TeamUHBW
In 2014, Rachel’s baby, Seth, was delivered by emergency C-section. Seth was born very ill and was rushed 50 miles away from home to St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for treatment. This week, Rachel’s little miracle is celebrating his tenth birthday! 🎂

£3,980 goes a long, long way. 💙 We've had so many lovely messages from parents who've stayed in our family accommodation themselves and want to thank this kind stranger. The ability to stay a stone's throw away from their poorly child in hospital was a lifeline for them.
What a wonderful thing to do! 💸 The Grand Appeal says the money has "funded 160 nights in one of our three free family accommodation houses" ➡️ bbc.in/4dURMCZ
