So I was reading a random blog when I came across this amazing story (Rescuing Hug) about these twins. I was so touched by the story that I decided to do a Google search for other amazing baby survival stories. Here's what I found:
Rescuing Hug - This article is about a set of twins who were born prematurely and only weighed around 2 pounds. One twin was thriving while the other was doing poorly. When the NICU nurse decided to put the two together in an incubator, the healthier baby threw her arm around her sister, who then completely stabilized.
Twin Survives After Being Declared Deceased - This story is about a mom who had a set of twins at 27 weeks. The doctors told her that one twin was fine but that the other had not made it. She took her son and held him close to her, skin touching, speaking to him. After about two hours, the baby had come back to life.
Fetus Survives Abortion - This story is about a woman who decided to abort her baby at 8 weeks because she thought he may have inherited a life threatening kidney disease. She had one son who died of the disease and one son who is missing a kidney because of it. At 19 weeks, she felt movement in her belly and the doctors told her that the baby had survived the abortion.
Baby Survives Outside Uterus - This story is about a woman who carried her baby outside of her uterus. She found out at 18 weeks that she had a Cornual pregnancy, a type of ectopic pregnancy. The woman had been trying for 5 years to conceive and didn't want to give up on her baby even though she was told to abort. He was born at 32 weeks and weight 2 pounds 14 ounces.
"Non-Viable" Baby Girl Born - This story is about a woman who gave birth to a baby weighing less than 10 ounces. She was born at 21 weeks and was just 9 1/2 inches long. The odds were not in her favor but at four months old, the little baby girl was able to go home with her family.
And then there's the story of my nephew, Cameron. Cameron was born about 3 months premature and weighed only 2 pounds, 12 ounces at birth. His umbilical cord was not working properly and was not feeding him the nutrients he needed to survive in the womb. He was in the hospital for a few months after his birth and was sent home with a monitoring system. He stopped breathing once. He is now a healthy 9 year old boy.
It's amazing how these stories take shape and these precious babies survived. Do you have any amazing baby stories?
