💙 NICU Graduate 💙

A new heartbeat.
Ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes.
A voice still too little to say “Mommy” or “Daddy.”

Yet somehow, little Cohan has found a place in each of our hearts.

On 3 June 2026, after 106 days in the NICU, we celebrate a milestone that once felt so far away. Born at just 27 weeks, Cohan has shown a strength far greater than his tiny size, and today he finally gets to go home with Mom and Dad.

What an unbelievable privilege it has been to be a small part of your journey. As myself and Emily’s very first premature baby, you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Cohan, our prayers have been answered.

May your ten little fingers touch countless lives as you grow, and may your ten tiny toes leave deep footprints in the hearts of everyone you meet along the way.

To Mom and Dad — thank you for allowing us to walk a small part of this journey with you. Your strength, faith, and unwavering love have been inspiring to witness.

A special thank you to the incredible team at Dr Magda Verster Pediatrics. It is an honour to be part of such an amazing team and to witness the dedication, expertise, and love that goes into caring for these precious little lives every single day. I am incredibly proud to be a member of this team and to celebrate milestones like this alongside you.

Welcome home, little warrior. 💙

💥 Myth Busting Monday 💥

❌ Myth: “Chest physio is just clapping your child on the back.”

✅ Busted!

Chest physiotherapy is so much more than percussion alone.

While gentle percussion may be used in some cases, a physiotherapist carefully assesses your child’s:
🫁 Breathing pattern
🫁 Lung condition
🫁 Age and developmental stage
🫁 Ability to cough and clear secretions

Treatment may include:
✨ Positioning
✨ Breathing exercises
✨ Assisted cough techniques
✨ Airway clearance techniques
✨ Mobilisation and movement
✨ Parent education

Not every child with a cough or chest infection needs percussion, and in some cases, incorrect “clapping” at home may be ineffective or even inappropriate.

💡 The goal of chest physiotherapy isn’t simply to loosen mucus—it’s to help your child breathe easier, clear their airways effectively, and support their recovery safely.

👉 Every child is different, which is why physiotherapy treatment should be tailored to their specific needs.

✨ Why Physio? ✨

Because pain shouldn’t control your life.
Because movement matters.
Because recovery is possible.

Physiotherapy is more than just treatment — it’s helping people move better, breathe easier, recover stronger, and get back to doing what they love 💙

From tiny milestones in paeds, to sports injuries, post-op recovery, respiratory care, and everyday aches & pains — physio changes lives in ways people often don’t see.

✨ Stronger. Healthier. More confident movement.

That’s why physio 💪

💙 Happy Nurses Day 💙

There are some songs that instantly take you back to the people and moments that leave a mark on your heart — and this will forever be one I associate with nurses.

To work alongside these incredible humans is such an honour. The compassion, resilience, patience, and quiet strength they show every single day never goes unnoticed.

Thank you for the care you give, the comfort you bring, and the countless lives you touch daily.

Healthcare would not be the same without you 💙

💥 Myth Busting Monday 💥

Think your scan tells the whole story? 🤔

❌ Myth!
Research shows that many people have ‘abnormal’ scans with no pain at all — and others have pain with minimal findings.

Pain is complex and goes beyond what imaging can show.

✨ Treat the person, not just the scan.
