hello lists! PlereasePlease b incourage injoy this gist! SAN DIEGO
(AP) — When she was born, the baby girl weighed about the same as an
apple.
A San Diego hospital on Wednesday revealed the birth of the girl and
said she is believed to be the world’s tiniest surviving
micro-preemie, who weighed just 8.6 ounces (245 grams) when she was
born in December.
The girl was born 23 weeks and three days into her mother’s 40-week
pregnancy. Doctors told her father after the birth that he would have
about an hour with his daughter before she died.
“But that hour turned into two hours, which turned into a day, which
turned into a week,” the mother said in a video released by Sharp Mary
Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns.
More than five months have passed, and she has gone home as a healthy
infant, weighing 5 pounds (2 kilograms).
The baby’s family gave permission to share the story but wanted to
stay anonymous, the hospital said. They allowed the girl to go by the
name that nurses called her: “Saybie.”
Her ranking as the world’s smallest baby ever to survive is according
to the Tiniest Baby Registry maintained by the University of Iowa.
Dr. Edward Bell, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa,
said Saybie had the lowest medically confirmed birth weight submitted
to the registry.
But “we cannot rule out even smaller infants who have not been
reported to the Registry,” he said in an email to The Associated
Press.
The hospital said the girl officially weighed 7 grams less than the
previous tiniest baby, who was born in Germany in 2015.
In the video produced by the hospital, the mother described the birth
as the scariest day of her life.
She said she was taken to the hospital after not feeling well and was
told she had preeclampsia, a serious condition that causes
skyrocketing blood pressure, and that the baby needed to be delivered
quickly.
“I kept telling them she’s not going to survive, she’s only 23 weeks,”
the mother said.
But she did. The tiny girl slowly gained weight in the neonatal
intensive care unit.
A pink sign by her crib read “Tiny but Mighty.” Other signs kept track
of her weight and cheered her on as the girl, whose birth weight
compared to that of a hamster, gained pounds over the months.
“You could barely see her in the bed she was so tiny,” nurse Emma
Wiest said in the video.
It shows photos of Saybie wearing a mint bow with white polka dots
that covered her entire head, her tiny eyes peering out from under it.
Nurses put a tiny graduation cap on her when she left the unit.
The girl faces enormous challenges as a micro-preemie, who is an
infant born before 28 weeks of gestation. Micro-preemies can
experience vision and hearing problems, developmental issues and a
host of other complications.
Many do not survive the first year, said Michelle Kling of the March
of Dimes, a nonprofit that works to improve the health of mothers and
babies.
So far Saybie has beaten the odds.
“She’s a miracle, that’s for sure,” said Kim Norby, another nurse
featured in the video.
