I just wanted to thank you for sharing this video.......I've just been crying all the way through as I'm 26 weeks tomorrow with my first baby and I was so happy to read your baby girl is now doing so well and will be 3 years old soon! I hope you and your family are all well, Lots of love from England, UK xxx
Wonderful video! I too am the father of a preemie born @26 wks. She remained in the NICU for 3 months while her mommy and I lived at the ronald mcdonald house nearby because she was transferred to another hospital. She will be 5 on Nov. 10th and is doing great. She suffers from mild cerebral palsy as a result, but is coming along well. You can check out her trying out her gait trainer for the first time, its a device used to help her learn to walk. Just search "Halyn's gait trainer" . Thanks!
@Liliki24 Thank you! She is a miracle of God : ) He knew she had a greater purpose to serve here on Earth, and I am forever greatful! She is now 2 and a half, and you should see her now!! Amazing! NO signs of her prematurity and tragic birth, except for some minor scarring on both feet where the I.V.'s had to be inserted again and again... miraculous!!!!!!! Amen! Congrats on your pregnancy! Obvioulsy, 26 week pregnant women are close to my heart ;) God bless!
oh my days!! i just came across this while trying to find out how big my unborn child is at the moment (im 26 weeks) it had me in tears, she is absolutely beautiful and what a miracle she is, thank you for sharing your heartwrenching story, it really does make you think about things, fantastic news that she is well and doing great, you have just made my day,miracles do really happen xx
just amazing makes you wonna cry my miss was 16 weeks early but i cant seem to load up a slide show it wont let me. but im so glad your baby has had such a amazing start its just a miracle
I had my daughter at 24weeks [due to eclampsia] and she did not survive! I almost gave up on life after knowin they could not safe her. Im glad to know that your daughter made it through the toughest time in her life. If she can endure that, she can endure anything! Congrats and God Bless you momma! <3
@Eli12332145 Thank you! I can't tell you what falling asleep at night is like when your infant is in the hospital, fighting for its life. You feel like an aweful parent that you cant be there every second. Thank you for your kind words.
@aubreighsmommy I wanted to tell you how much I admire you and what you went through and you didn't give up. 20 years ago I went into labor and hemmoraghe at 22 weeks. Had driven my self to the DR. and the bleeding became way to serious my dr. looked at the baby and what was going on and I was dialted 5, he grabbed the phone and called for a ambulance,I was taken to a level four hosp. I had three cerclages put it, was there 10 weeks, he was so tiny. at 8 weeks early he survived.he's 20 7'2".
love your video made my tear from beginning to end. I too had my first baby boy premature and he is currently still in the NICU he will be 1 month on october 8 and looking at all these videos makes me feel so good and confident that soon he will be home. GOD bless ur family :)
Your video is gorgeous......my daughter was born at 33 weeks weighing 5lb 10oz but with a major heart defect, she underwent her first heart surgery at 24 hours old, then open heart surgery at 9 days old, 10 hours in theatre and touch and go all the way....she is 9 years old now and just facing her 19th operation but she is the most amazing little girl i have ever met, and she's mine <3 Love to you and yours xxxxxxx
@BMWFTW123 Thank you!! So glad to hear your daughter is well! Sometimes I question why I was chosen to go through the struggle, but I appreciate her life, and all life so much more now!! Amen!
mine was full term but aspirated meconium and both lungs collapsed- I posted his ECMO story here a few days ago- I'm almost 26 weeks pregnant with our next child and came to see how developed the new baby is- and found your sweet girl
hi there i am 20weeks pregnant because of pre eclampsia i lost my 1st baby at 28weeks.....luckily my good God has blessed me with being pregnant now at 20weeks my doctor said that they might have to take baby out at 26weeks and that made me sad bcos i thought that was way to early, but your baby has progressed amazingly so tahnk you for posting the vid x
my son was just born on jan 27th at 26 weeks 3 days because i had preeclampsia and placenta abruptia. he is fighting for his life because he had bilateral grade 4 bleeding in the brain. but miracles happen and we are holding tight to our faith
Did you have eclampsia? My baby girl was 5 weeks early, and had to stay in the NICU for a week. I know it wasn't as long as your Kendyl stayed, but it seemed like forever. I too had to have a c-section due to being so sick. I had eclampsia, and I guess my body wasnt doing so well. Infact I still have problems because of it. I'm so happy to see your LO made it through. Absolutely amazing. Shes so beautiful too. Due to my experience, I start med school this summer so I can be a NICU nurse one day.
your little girl is a true miracle my little girl was 3 months early she was 28 weeks and weighed 2 lb 15 oz and was 15 inches long now she is 7 months old and is very health
I came across your video because it was related to my own. My baby girl was also born at 26 weeks and weighed 1lb 9 oz 13 inches long. She just came home on 9/5/09. These babies are amazing. Just had to comment how beautiful your miracle is.
Thank you so much for your response. I am SO happy to hear your baby is HOME!! With faith in God and AMAZING Dr.'s, nurses and technology our babies survived! She's 7 months old now and 11 1/2 pounds and instead of calling her itty bitty or teeny wieny like I used to, she's now chunky monkey! Congrats on bringing baby home!
hi,im 22 weeks pregnant with baby number two and was curious to see videos of babies born early.Your so amazingly brave and strong :) your baby is ADORABLE! bought a tear to my eye,
I think you and your family are amazing :D a true inspiration to all parents xx
Thank you so much for your kind words. I put Kendyl's video on here because when I knew they were going to take her soon by c-section, laying in the hospital on bedrest I turned to the internet searching for stories of hope. If one woman in my shoes came across our story and it actually gave them hope for their child, then I will be happy. There are so many sad stories out there, I love sharing my miracle! Thanks again and good luck with your baby!
im 26 weeks pregnant right now and if i ever got told i was to sick to carry my child full term would tear me apart. u r strong and brave. congrats on being able to take her home.
Thank you so much for your reply. I can tell you that I never thought that I could be so strong, but knew I had to be for my baby. If I didnt have hope for her, who would. In the moment I felt weak, but looking back I thank God for the strength that he gave me. Good luck with your baby and congrats!
