After a month in intensive care, multiple organ failure and three resuscitations, there were fears baby Thomas - named after hero Captain Tom - might not survive.
Now the little fighter is home in Felixstowe with parents Rita and Jonathon Trotter, and is thriving.
Mum Rita went into labour on the morning of April 27 and immediately knew something wasn t right when she started bleeding.
The 30-year-old from Felixstowe, who has two older children, was taken to Ipswich Hospital by husband Jonathon, where several hours later she was rushed in for an emergency caesarean delivery because the baby s heartbeat kept disappearing during her contractions.
