Born weighing just 400 grams, baby Talia has overcome incredible challenges after entering the world at only 22 weeks and 5 days. Her birth was so sudden that she remained inside her amniotic sac, while her skin was thin and transparent due to her extreme prematurity.
Medical staff at King’s College Hospital in Dubai acted promptly to save her life, providing advanced breathing support and intubation. Like many babies born so early, Talia faced significant medical hurdles, including infection concerns that required treatment with powerful antibiotics.
Right to Life UK reports the baby’s doctor, Dr Maria Theresa Reyes, as saying her medical team had never treated a baby quite like Talia before. “We have had several 23-week infants weighing around 500 grams with excellent outcomes,” Dr Reyes said. “But Talia is our first 22-week infant, weighing just 400 grams. She is the smallest 22-weeker ever reported in the UAE.”
Talia spent four months in intensive care before finally being discharged home. Weighing 2.6kg, she showed no signs of long-term health complications. Reflecting on the journey, her mother Jade said their daughter had taught them the true meaning of strength and that they would always be grateful to the neonatal intensive care team who helped make her survival possible.
Those unrepentant individuals who support the murder of children before they take their first breath will stand before God on Judgement day. It will be a terrible day as their final sentences are decided and declared. The 22 week surviving child is another miracle from the author of life.
God is good, miracles happen all the time, and we must thank Him for His love for us which He manifests by granting such wonderful miracles. It really lifts our hearts to see such precious little babies overcoming all the odds and winning the battle. God bless her and her parents.
Well said Margaret.
Amen! It’s murder, No matter what they call it to make themselves feel justified.
Just an amazing outcome for a baby to be born at 22 weeks and doing extremely well.
Some mothers are considering abortion at this point.
Life is sacred
What a mirecal. Life is precious.
We must not condem the mother
They will live the loss of their child for a lifetime
Obviously, there’s more mercy shown to the prematurely born, in Dubai, than in what used to be Christian Ireland. God have mercy on us.
Imagine our Govt is proposing to support a sf motion to abolish the 3 day wait !!!!
After that same motion having been defeated lrecently
Let us all start a country- wide campaign to oppose this motion !!!
