A real miracle

The little baby in this article is my 1st cousin thrice removed. (Her great grandmother is my 1st cousin.)

Paizlee was born April 25 (Not positive of date, but I think it’s the 25th.) she was due August 22. If her mom had not been at that hospital for tests when she went into labour, I doubt the baby would have survived. There is no qualified hospital in their province. She only weighed about a pound.

She now weighs about 3 pounds, and made it through heart surgery.

Her m9m has been keeping a blog on Facebook. It’s written as if written by Paizlee. Really cute.

What a great little fighter, Paizlee is! Thank you for posting this great article too. Most interesting.
I will keep little Paizlee in my prayers.
May be, you could update us on this thread from time to time, please Roland, as I am not on Facebook.
Congratulations

I agree with Poppy's sentiments. What a little fighter, amazing how Paizlee has fought to stay alive. Please let us know how she gets on when you have time. Love & prayers for all concerned with her welfare as well as her family.

Oh goodness what a tiny baby & to have pulled through all she has had to cope with is truly astounding. Do hope Paizlee continues to progress well. Love & prayers to her & your family Roland.

Please let us know how she gets on. Like other members I would love to be kept up to date with this dear little girl's journey through life.

So tiny! A big miracle in a small package

[Roland]

She no longer has the breathing tube. She now has a CPAP, like many people have to sleep. It means she is breathing on her own now.

She sounds like she’s a real fighter and has a wonderful mom and dad in her corner. And what a facility!!! I hope other NICU’s can do that. Please keep us posted on how she’s doing.

Truly a little miracle baby and I pray she continues to grow into the beautiful young lass she is meant to be. Thank You for sharing this Roland.

Such a dear little mite, brilliant she has responded so well to treatment. Always surprising how such tiny babies get the will to struggle on & fight life through to the fullest.

As others are, sending love & prayers for the dear little girl. & the family.

Apparently she did not like having that feeding tube down her throat. So she pulled it out. (Not the first time she pulled something out.) They put the tube through her nose instead of through her mouth. And mommy got to give her a bottle for the first time.

Thanks for posting, Roland.
Paizlee is certainly a strong character! How wonderful that she is able to feed with Mummy for the first time
Sending blessings to the family.

Glad little one is doing so well

How wonderful this very tiny baby has managed to gather strength to fight to stay alive. How thankful all your family must be Roland. Do hope & pray she will continue to get even better during next few months.

So good to hear about the baby and that her mom has gotten to feed her too. Keep us updated please. Encouraging and happy stories like this are so important to share. Thank you.

Praise be! What a special baby she is, such a fighter, glad she is progressing so well.

WOW, what a fantastic story to read and what a fighter Paizlee is. How wonderful she is able to feed from Mum, the bonding will strengthen her even more. Please keep us updated with this precious miracle.

So often our news is dominated by despair, violence and anger, it is so heartening to remind ourselves of the good in the world, and of course all the good people in it especially the doctors and nurses all rooting for little Paizlee.

Sending much strength and love to Paizlee and parents.

[Roland]

She has reached 4 pounds. And she is at the lowest amount of oxygen. This week they plan to take her off it for a short period of time.

[mauveme]

What an amazing wee girl. Against all odds and pure luck mom wasat the hospital at the right time. Hope she continues to improve. A miracle baby.

[Garnet]

Oh reading this has made my day, well done little Paizlee, keep on fighting and all good wishes to Mum & Dad.
