It was successful.

I did have quite a few complications following that, which possibly might have been related to

having a C-section the week before, everything that had been going on.

So there was quite a few infections and I needed some help with the lungs and a tracheostomy was fitted in my throat to do my breathing, which really, really helped.

It did just mean that for those three to four weeks, I wasn't able to communicate verbally.

So we had to wait for 28 days.

We both still were on lots of oxygen.

She was still in her incubator.

It did take about three hours of logistics in how they can get my daughter over to my room with all of our equipment, the tubes, everything that was needed.

But I think that moment for both of us was a real turning point.

We're both doing well.

Jessica will be a year old in two weeks.

She was born at 700 grams, so very, very tiny.

We're now nearly up to a stone.

So she's doing really well.

She's amazing and a little superstar.

The recovery from the transplant physically, it's a lot, especially with a baby as well.

Sometimes you're just so tired.

We are both still at risk of infections, myself being immune suppressed now, but also my daughter being so premature.

So we are just mindful of where we go, who we see.
