10 ounce “Tater Tot” – IOTW Report

10 ounce “Tater Tot”

E. Faith preemie

CarolinasHealthCareSystem: Baby E’layah Faith, born nearly 14 weeks premature at 10 ounces and 10 inches long, is the smallest surviving baby born at Carolinas Medical Center.

The best gift that parents Megan Smith and Eric Pegues will have this year isn’t sitting under a Christmas tree or adorned with shiny ribbons or fancy packaging. It’s the greatest gift of all, wrapped in tiny blankets at Levine Children’s Hospital; their baby girl E’layah Faith.

Born nearly 14 weeks early on Sept. 23 at Carolinas Medical Center, E’layah weighed 10 ounces (305 grams) and measured just 10 inches long. Her road has not been easy, but she’s made steady progress over the last three months and on Dec. 29, she will celebrate her “original” due date weighing about five times as much as her original birth weight.  more here
