Reply to comment by blackjackgabbiani in ‘0% chance of survival’: World’s most premature twins record broken by blackchristopher

There is a point where if your born too early, death is a better alternative than developing out of the womb. These babies suffered constant skin peeling, brain bleeding, perforation, spesis, and more due to their premature status.

In a way this story is a kind of cruelty to these children, and they may have lifelong disability depending on how they came out.

Since being discharged, Adiah has been growing “really well” and meeting all the milestones for her corrected age

Adrial has been admitted back to the hospital twice since being discharged, spending several weeks fighting off infections and respiratory issues. After returning from his last hospitalization, he required home oxygen support.

Adrial has now outgrown his twin sister and is “progressing well.”

I missed the “meeting all milestones” aspect of the article, that’s wonderful to hear. I hope life treats them well, and if it does that could mean more for premature babies that would have ended up worse off
