Lilly Munro, a Melbourne mother, trusted her gut—and it likely saved her baby’s life. At just 24 weeks pregnant, she felt something was wrong and rushed to the hospital with her fiancé, Brodie. Doctors discovered their unborn son, Lennox, had a severe heart condition and needed to be delivered immediately.
Born weighing just 1.8 pounds, Lennox faced a 50/50 chance of survival. He was placed in a plastic bag to regulate his temperature and hooked to life support. For 111 days, Lilly barely left his side while Brodie managed their home and other children. Each day in the NICU was a battle, but Lennox slowly grew stronger—tube by tube, milestone by milestone.
After nearly four months, Lennox came home at nine pounds, filling their house with joy and gratitude. His journey brought their family closer and reminded them to cherish every small moment. Lilly often says, “Something inside me just knew.” That instinct, she believes, saved her son.
