Just thought I'd show a picture of some of the babies I've been following the last month or so.
The two in the middle are twin girls. The one of the left is a little girl as well. The one on the right is a little boy.
They were all born all around the same time and weighed from 1000 grams to about 1500 grams (2-3 lbs). They are all growing well now and will soon go home. I wanted to take a picture of them before they all left. They get to go home at 2 kilos (4.4 lbs). It's amazing how they can survive here with just gavage feeding (through a nasal tube), an IV, heat from a incubator and maybe some oxygen. We have become known as the preemie hospital since we have oxygen so there are always a ton of preemies here. We currently have two babies that came in at 900 grams (less than 2 lbs). They seem to be doing well. Hopefully they will make it. Only time will tell.
Still amazes me that so many of them live. Great job you guys are doing.
