Patient Story
Callyn's Marathon Hospital Journey
Could you handle being told 4-5 times your child might not make it? That is what Karleen and her husband went through when their baby boy was born at only 25 weeks.
Nine months. Nine long, heart-wrenching months. That’s how long baby Callyn stayed in the hospital, fighting for his life after he was born at only 25 weeks. Spending 106 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) then spending another 174 days in the Children’s Critical Care Unit (CCCU), Callyn now holds the record for the longest stay for a baby born at Gold Coast University Hospital. His marathon journey however began before he was born, during a difficult pregnancy that had his mother, Karleen, on bed rest for two weeks.
