This baby from the photo was born in a hospital in East Surrey in England 16 weeks earlier than expected, i.e. at 24 weeks of pregnancy. What are the chances of such a child surviving? Very, very small. English doctors gave this baby only a 5 percent chance of survival. And then her dad decided that he would photograph every day how his daughter was fighting for life. He immortalized not only joyful, but also difficult moments, and it turned out to be a very touching story of a little baby who survived against all odds.
The girl is the size of your palm. The girl's father decided to film every day of her life, not knowing whether she would be able to win this fight or not.
The mortality rate of children born at 24-25 weeks of pregnancy is very high, because their organs do not have time to develop sufficiently by this time. But it is very important that loved ones be close to the baby and touch her, so she has a better chance of surviving.
There is no better medicine than the touch of family. Touch has a very beneficial effect on the nervous system of children.
The girl lies on her father's chest - this is a special method that doctors use to improve the condition of premature babies. The nervous system of mom or dad acts as a positive “charging of batteries” - the child’s condition stabilizes and performance improves.
The encouraging news for babies born prematurely is that their care and treatment have changed significantly in recent years. Intensive care of premature newborns and highly qualified care from neonatologists have increased the survival rate of children born before the 27th week of pregnancy.
The girl, contrary to doctors' predictions, survived. She was given only a 5 percent chance of survival, but the brave little one did not give in.
The little girl fought for her life and won.
Of course, for some time she will be significantly behind her peers in development. And perhaps she, like most children born at this stage, will develop health problems. But the most important thing, especially for her parents, is that she survived.
Joyful and happy child.
A family who believed and hoped so much that the baby would survive. And here they are all together, happy and joyful.
There would be more such happy stories.
