Born prematurely
When a baby is born prematurely, it takes a toll on the child and the parents. Despite this, the weeks or sometimes even months in the hospital are filled with a magnitude of tender experiences between the parents, the nurses, and the children.
Of children with a birth weight of over one kilogram, 90-95 percent survive without severe handicaps. This number reduces to 85-90 percent in children born with a weight less than one kilogram. Fortunately, since the time the photographs were taken, there have been medical advancements which mature a child’s lungs and improve their chances of a healthy and happy life.
