Best of 2013 – Our Little Fighters

With 2013 coming to a close, we’d like to celebrate the survival of some of the smallest and youngest humans. These little fighters prove that you don’t have to be big to display strength, endurance or a will to survive. In fact, they show us that sometimes, the best things come in the smallest packages.

For these tiny survivors, the fight began before they were even born!:

• Pennsylvania Mom Fights Breast Cancer Through Pregnancy; Both Mom and Baby Survive
• Outcome Looks Good for Illinois Baby Born with Organs Outside of His Body
• Baby Born Healthy After Risky In-Utero Procedure
• After Two Heart Attacks, a Heart Transplant and a Speedy Recovery, Baby Girl is Preparing to Go Home!

 These preemies have proven that sometimes, age is just a number (relatively speaking, of course):

• Preemie Born at 23 Weeks Defies Odds
• World’s Smallest Baby Boy Now Four Years Old
• Despite Doctors’ Initial Expectations Little Miracle Born at 23 Weeks Survives
• Tiny Miracle Saved by Bubble Wrap Turns Four!
• San Diego Baby Weighing 11 Ounces at Birth Prepares to Go Home!
• Miracle Baby makes the Trip Home with Her Family
• Little Fighter with Severe Congenital Disorder Defying the Odds

Some of our little fighters remind us that miracles are still possible, even when all the odds are stacked against you:

• Toddler Returns Home after Bone Marrow Transplant and More than 100 Blood Transfusions!
• Born with Half a Heart Baby Girl Faces a Bright Future
• Jasper’s Syndrome Named After Infant With Very Rare Condition
• Real Life China Doll Celebrates Second Birthday and Still Getting Stronger Everyday
• Baby Survives Despite Doctors Removing his Life Support
• Born with a Tumor on her Face, Baby Girl Fights to Survive
• Baby Girl with Half a Heart Fights for Her Life

And some of our little survivors have been through unimaginable circumstances, yet they still keep fighting:

• Baby Boy Doing Well after Multiple Organ Transplant
• One-Year-Old Girl Survives 100 Foot Fall that Killed Both Her Parents
• Abandoned Chinese Newborn Rescued from a Sewage Pipe
• Girl with Heart Transplant as a Baby now Fights Cancer
• Twin Babies Found in NJ Home With Deceased Mother
• Baby Survives 8 Story Plunge, While In Moms Arms

 

We hope that our little fighters will be an inspiration to you in the coming year – make it a good one and remember that miracles are born from impossible situations.
