New mum Jean Sloane-Bulger is having her head shaved as a thank- you to the hospital which saved her baby’s life.
Mrs Sloane-Bulger, aged 39, almost died after giving birth to son Ethan 11 weeks early in January. She was treated in the intensive care unit at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire.
Ethan spent seven weeks in the hospital’s neo-natal unit and his mother suffered multi-organ failure, a hysterectomy and lost 17 pints of blood.
Now both mum and baby are recovering well and Mrs Sloane-Bulger has decided to raise money for the hospital which she reckons saved her life. She and three friends are taking part in the sponsored head shave at The Bradeley pub, Bradeley, from 7pm tonight.
She said: “I want to give something back to the hospital. Without the nurses and doctors my baby would have died and I would not be here either.”
