In March this year, bride-to-be Christy was rushed to the hospital due to pregnancy complications. The story made news headlines when our maternal fetal medicine team sprung into wedding planning mode, helping Christy and fiancé Brendan coordinate a wedding in the chapel at Monash Medical Centre, Clayton.

Christy and Brendan spent every day of their first few months of marriage at Monash Children’s Hospital visiting Willow. Last week after two surgeries and 140 days in hospital, Willow was finally able to go home.
“I couldn’t possibly express how much I appreciate what they have done,” said dad Brendan.
In a week where a lot of the medical news was challenging, their story provided a bright spot.
