Baby Jaandri Ellis was born on 8 March ... on 31 weeks. She weighed only 1,74 kg at birth and was five day old before her mommy, Alicia and daddy, Jaco could hold her for the first time.  Alicia's, who has RH-factor blood, had a difficult pregnancy which was closely monitored. After baby Jaandri's birth, many more medical interventions were needed, but she left the hospital a month later.  This was however just the start of baby Jaandri and her family's medical uphill. She returned for tests and observation after she stopped breathing a few times and again for an operation to repair a blockage in her intestines when she was just two months old. Two weeks ago, she was in ICU again after she stopped breathing due to some flu, but she's home again and doing well. The family has a medical aid, but some R 20 000,00 has not been paid. They are struggling to make ends-meet and have prioritized their baby's health above other expenses. They also have a four-year old daughter, Chandri.
