In this heartfelt episode of The Premie Pod, we’re honoured to be joined by Tenille James — a devoted mother to Kenny, Andie, and Harley.
Tenille bravely shares her journey through premature birth, NICU life, and the unimaginable grief of losing her daughter Andie to SIDS at just 9 months old. Born at 35 weeks, Andie developed a critical condition called Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) shortly after birth, requiring intensive care and life support.
Despite the odds, Andie came home — a true fighter. But the road ahead brought unexpected tragedy and heartbreak no parent should ever have to face.
This episode is a moving tribute to Andie’s life and a powerful call to raise awareness around SIDS, grief, and the strength of families walking this path.
❤️ Tenille’s story is raw, brave, and deeply human.
🎧 Listen now — and please share to help us honour Andie and raise awareness.
