Born at 24 weeks gestation
Please pray for my friends little girl. She was born 16 weeks early (was due 26th October) yesterday morning weighing 1lb 10oz, but so far is doing ok. I can't begin to imagine how my friend and her husband are feeling. x

They've called her Keira Dawn and she'll be 4 weeks old on Tuesday.
Obviously they've had their good days and their bad days (glad to say more good than bad), but fingers crossed she seems to be fighting.
She's taking tube feeds of expressed milk really well and has been fighting the ventilator to breath on her own so they extubated her 2 days ago and now she's just on the CPAP.
Thank you for your concern.
Please keep us updated my thoughts and wishes are with them all x x
14 weeks ago today Keira was born at 24 weeks and 6 days gestation weighing a tiny 1lb 10ozs........today her parents got to take her home - weighing 4lb 13ozs and 1 week before her due date.
