About This premature infant was born weighing 1008 grams. Thanks to the dedication and round the clock care by dedicated doctors, nurses and support staff, she has survived without any major complications. In the very near future I will be submitting a photo of a newborn that weighed one third (308 grams) what this angel weighed. Babies are beautiful! B:o)

My goodness! This is very touching for me as my friend just gave birth to quads and they were only 820 grams and smaller! Absolutely amazing and strong little things, aren't they!?

Hi Cheryl, Thank you so very much for your second comment on this photo! You're obviously as sensitive to children as I am. They are the basis of life, happiness, innocence and the joy they bring to this world. All the BEST B)

OMG that's tiny!! What an incredibly heart wrenching experience you have to witness. I don't know how you do it, I guess it's these miracles that make it all worth it. I'm glad she survived. Makes me cry and smile all at once.
Thanks for your comment on Blue Eyed Girl. :)

The bible says that children are an inheritance. I see you have a hand in preserving that. What a gift from our creator. "Precious Life".
Very touching image.

Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for your warm welcome and encouragement. Everyone here has been very kind and genuine. I very much love the Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo. Yes, I cry at times. It's very difficult to deal with ill and abused children, but seeing them become healthy and safe brings just as many tears to my eyes.

Just read your bio Brian and see how you are around such amazing little children and able to take such moving images. My friend had a baby who was so small at birth that the father's wedding band fit around their baby's wrist. He is now around 12 and the smartest child in his class. There is HOPE! Amazing image of a precious life.
