Praise God...
An empty or full soda can?
SHAME on them for spending so MUCH money on this little one. ESPECIALLY since a soda can has some VALUE.
Rumaisa weighed 8.6 ounces at birth and measured just 9.5 inches long, more than an ounce less than the previous smallest baby, born at Loyola in 1989 at 9.9 ounces.
The little girl is now 5 pounds, 8 ounces, and almost 17 inches long. She still requires round-the-clock oxygen -- common for premature babies with underdeveloped lungs -- but will be gradually weaned from the oxygen tank, Davidow said.
Hiba, who weighed 1 pound, 4 ounces, and was 12 inches long at birth, now weights 8 pounds, 8 ounces, and is 19 inches long -- about the size of a full-term newborn.
The babies were delivered by Caesarean section 14 weeks early at just 26 weeks' gestation after their mother developed pre-eclampsia, involving dangerously high blood pressure, during pregnancy.
Had an elderly relative who died years ago, she was called 'Auntie'. 'Auntie' was a feisty soul. When she was born, premature one would assume, it was said her head would fit in a tea cup. My father use to joke ... perhaps they should have left the tea cup on.
A baby born weighing less than a soda can ...
oh boy. A 'soda can' weighs less than an ounce. Apparently English is a second language for the 'journalist' who wrote this article.
Better to say a "a can of soda" than "a soda can"! There is a vast difference in the implications.
I am joyed that the parents waited for their child and didn't get rid of it earlier in an abortion!
