MIRACLE BABY

I read this today, and had a WOW moment! The picture I saw had a ball point pen next to her, and they were the same size!!

What an example of how we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- Parents of one of the world's smallest premature babies got to take her home Wednesday for the first time since she was delivered last fall.



Amillia Sonja Taylor has known only an incubator for a bed at Baptist Children's Hospital since she was delivered in October after less than 22 weeks in the womb.



"The baby is healthy and thriving and left Baptist Children's Hospital today after four months in our neonatal intensive care unit," hospital spokeswoman Liz Latta said.



Amillia, who was just 9 1/2 inches at birth and weighed less than 10 ounces, will still require oxygen at home and a developmental specialist will follow up with her and her parents to track her neurological development.



The infant now weighs about 4 1/2 pounds and is just over 15 1/2 inches long.

They think she'll be able to live a normal life. Can you IMAGINE?!

    I pray for these parents. My friends baby was born at 1lb 40z and got to go home 4 months after she was born weighing a little over 6lbs. She lived to be 9 months old at a butterball weight of 19lbs when the Lord took her to be with him. We miss her everyday.
