Despite Eden and partner Mark Palmer's concerns, baby Lennon was discharged by the DRI back to the family's Scawsby home the next day.
However his vomiting continued. Said Eden: "It was a horrible time, Lennon was sick over and over again both myself and Mark knew something wasn't right.

"The sickness persisted and we were told it was mucus after the birth but on the second night home when I put Lennon to bed he began to choke on his bile and was struggling to breath.

"Thank God I was awake and turned him on his tummy and patted his back to clear his airways. It was an horrendous experience and very frightening."

Desperate Eden, who was already a mum and stepmum to five children, finally had enough and took Lennon, her first child with Mark, to the Accident and Emergency department at DRI.

The team admitted him immediately to the children's ward where an X-ray revealed a serious problem with his bowel.

Realising little Lennon need specialist treatment, he was rushed straight to Sheffield Children's Hospital in a neo-natal transporter with a team of specialist nurses by his side.

After giving him another X-ray, the neo-natal unit's lead consultant, Mr Godbole, told Eden her son's bowel was twisted up and the wrong way round. He needed emergency surgery or he would certainly have died.
At just three days old, Lennon underwent an operation to remove his bowel, release the knots and turn it the right way round.

Three weeks later, Lennon was allowed home and now aged two months, mum Eden is happy to report her little boy is getting along fine.

Said the 33-year-old from St David's Drive: "It was a horrible experience and one I never want to go through again. But the team at Sheffield were really fantastic and I can't thank them enough. They saved our little boy."

Now, to show their thanks, Eden and Mark are planning a fundraising event to help raise funds for another neo-natal ambulance for the hospital which cost a staggering £120,000 each.

The couple are hosting big band night featuring Eden's father's band, the Ray Lawson Big Band at the Forester's Arms pub in Adwick-Le-Street in September to raise money for the appeal, although the date is not yet confirmed.

Said Eden: "It's such a worthy cause and there will be a lot of people in the same position who will need the service.

"If it were not for the transporter, Lennon would have died."
