K'Lee's little miracle 'THIS CHRISTMAS IS EXTRA-SPECIAL'

M ai FM host K’Lee McNabb can’t wait to actually be relaxing and celebrating with her family this Christmas.

“Last year, we were super-cautious,” she admits, “Even though we were out of lockdown, it was a really tense time.”

K’Lee, 39, was on high alert as her daughter Honour, who arrived 12 weeks early in February 2021, has a chronic lung condition, so common illnesses such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and colds can be life-threatening.

Honour spent the first five months of her life in Auckland City Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit and has since been admitted back for life-saving treatment many times, leaving K’Lee and her partner Lama Saga, 39, feeling helpless and exhausted.

Things are looking up this year, though. “We’re feeling really positive as Honour’s health is a lot better, plus this Christmas will be extra-special as my parents will be able to spend it with us for the first time in five years!”

Her parents Carol, 60, and Bruce, 64, who live on the Gold Coast, haven’t had many opportunities to meet little Honour. “Unfortunately, it took ages before Mum was able to see her,” tells K’Lee. “It was during the whole COVID and RSV breakout, and visitors were limited to just parents. Dad hasn’t seen her since the first time she went to hospital with RSV. I’m sure Honour thinks they live in my phone!”
