A mother's message to a miracle baby, born premature and home at last after 108 days in hospital A mum's inspiring story of her premmie baby Sienna and a family and doctors who never gave up. Pictures and audio: Dimity Emery and Jamie Hanson TINY Sienna Emery was so sick when she was born premature her distraught mum Dimity wasn't even allowed to hold her. But the love of a mother knows no bounds. Dimity took the brave move to share her baby's touch-and-go journey with the world via a Facebook page. After 108 days in intensive care and multiple procedures at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, little Sienna came home on Friday, just in time for Mother's Day. The tiny bub wasn't due until today but was born at just 24 weeks and three days, and weighed just 664g on January 24. Both Sienna and mum Dimity, 34, fought for their lives after her birth. Dimity Emery and baby Sienna who was born at 24 weeks. The Clayfield mother had a placental abruption and she had to have an emergency Caesarean section. Sienna required surgery on her intestine, seven blood transfusions and on Valentine's Day had surgery to close her heart valve. "They say two to three babies a year require the surgery to close the valve and Sienna was the first for the year," Mrs Emery said. I didn't get to hold her for 34 days and that was hard.

Jamie Hanson Mrs Emery and her husband Luke, 33, were also trying to comfort their older children, Mia, 2, and Andrew, 4, who couldn't understand why they couldn't cuddle their little sister. The family drew strength from the support they found on Facebook after setting up Sienna's Support Family group to document her journey. They began a Facebook photo diary the night Sienna was born and intend to continue with daily updates until her first birthday. We didn't feel like talking to anybody and it was a very emotional time so we wanted to let people know but we didn't want to be talking. TINY Sienna Emery was born at just 24 weeks and three days, and weighed just 664g on January 24. I definitely want to keep it going as there's so many amazing people who I don't even know who have jumped on her support page. "They have written some truly beautiful words and it's been a good way to keep in contact with family," Mrs Emery said.
