On August 26, 2023, Roseann Singleton welcomed River Stephen Camile Mbunzama and everything seemed fine. However, he later showed difficulty with breathing and feeding.

A Helensburgh boy who spent 320 days in Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Children is celebrating his first birthday at home.

The boy, from Helensburgh, spent 11 months in the hospital including multiple stints in the neonatal intensive care unit and paediatric intensive care unit .For parents Roseann and Rudy, the past year has felt like one step forward and ten steps back. Every celebration was often met with a new reality.

“Soon after, we had another positive milestone moment. We saw River without any respiratory support for the first time. Seeing his full face again was beautiful. However, following this, he went on to have severe choking episodes and at one point stopped breathing in Rudy’s arms. A terrifying emergency intubation followed to save his life and he ended up back on a ventilator in PICU.

With the help of the Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Team they got a plan in place to help regain the strength he once had.
