Survival of the youngest preterm infant only palm size at birth

in our general impression, the probability of premature infant's survival is very small, but a premature infant with the size of palm unexpectedly survived in England, creating a miracle of life!

On February 13, Flynn parry, a 23 week old baby born in her mother's womb, was born ahead of schedule. Doctors said her chances of survival were extremely low. Born with a body weight of just one pound and the size of a mother's palm, it is one of the smallest premature babies alive in the UK.

Due to premature birth, Flynn suffered from various serious diseases and had to be recuperated in the hospital. But he has a strong vitality. After various operations, he has successfully overcome the disease. Now, little Flynn is alive and healthy.

When Flynn's mother, Hoda Ali, was born, doctors told her that Flynn's chances of survival were very low and it was difficult to live a day. He's only half the size of a baby of his age, and only one of six such premature babies can survive, even if they survive. So, all his life, Flynn was put into a bubble membrane - a membrane that mimics the environment of his mother's womb - and fitted with a ventilator.

On June 16, Flynn was discharged from hospital. Although still petite, but healthy. The only damage to him from premature birth is his eyes. This means that he may need to wear glasses later. But Ali said it was incredible to see Flynn in his current state. After all, he was born with ups and downs.
