Miami - Parents of one of the world's smallest premie babies got to take her home Wednesday for the first time since she was delivered. She was delivered in October after less than 22 weeks in the womb. WOW!

That is totally awesome! when i was born, i weighed 2 pounds 16 ounces and had jaundice, strep and something else wrong with me and the doctors said that I would not live or I would be a vegetable, well, they were wrong. I am alive and not a veggie. It is amazing how medicine has advanced though, when my daughter was in the nicu, there were premies alot bigger than me and that little one that didn't have a fighting chance and that was inly 12 years ago, I will pray for the health of that little one every day!

I think this is amazing!! The technology that we have to make this possible! Crazy! My daughter was a preemie and in hospital for 6.5 weeks, I couldn't imagine 4.5 months!! Those parents must be ecstatic to finally have their little girl at home where she belongs.

I agree. Congrats on your baby, I'm glad everything went o.k. I'll bet it will be a long time before they let anyone babysit. I know I wouldn't want to let her out of my arms.
