New Mum Courtney, in stable but critical condition after giving birth to her beautiful baby boy 💙

Meet Courtney.

A fun-loving, happy, bubbly gal, who has been so excited to become a new mum to her first child with partner Shayne. On the 7th June 2024 at Blenheim hospital Baby Bronty arrived healthy and strong. Sadly, Courtney has fallen critically ill post-labour.

After battling influenza A and a 3-day labour, resulting in an emergency C-section, complications arose as Courtney developed pneumonia post-labour. Not long after welcoming baby Bronty into the world, Courtney’s health declined further as her vital organs could no longer cope. A medical team flew down from Auckland, connected Courtney to an external lung machine, and flew her from Blenheim to Auckland hospital where she currently lies in a stable, but critical condition.

Connected to a life support machine and kidney dialysis, Courtney is currently in an induced coma to help monitor her condition and give her struggling organs a chance to get back on track. Though she is far from her home in Blenheim, she is in the best place with specialist care, and Baby Bronty and partner Shayne are at her side. Their family from the North Island have also rallied around them, providing emotional support during this challenging time.

However, the financial strain of the unknown is a stress lingering for her family, as they wait for an update on her condition.

Please donate to remove this pressure on Courtney and her family so they can focus on her recovery. Your donation will be undeniably appreciated.
