WORLD NEWS | Against all odds, Miracle Baby leaves hospital after long battle for his life

Tel Aviv [Israel]May 22 (ANI/TPS): After 80 days fighting for life in the neonatal intensive care unit, a premature Israeli baby was sent home from a hospital in Ashdod on Monday.

“The resilience and determination shown [the baby] Proof that miracles exist in this world,” said Dr Omer Globus, Director of Labor at Assuta Ashdod Public Hospital.

The story began two and a half months ago, when Yuval Ganneh and her husband Amir rushed anxiously to Assuta. Yuval noticed a lack of fetal movement at the 31st week of pregnancy. The doctor found that the fetus was in distress and performed an emergency caesarean section.

The baby, who has not yet been named, suffers from a severe form of “pulmonary immaturity”, which occurs when a newborn’s lungs don’t develop enough to meet the body’s oxygen needs. The baby also had pulmonary hypertension, a condition that affects blood vessels in the lungs and is characterized by high blood pressure.

Immediately following the operation, Baby Ganeh was transferred to the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for intensive care and close monitoring. In the first few days, the medical team faced an uphill battle as his condition teetered between life and death. Several times his parents were called to say goodbye. Miraculously, their son managed to overcome every crisis.

About two weeks later, Baby Ganeh’s condition began to stabilize, giving his parents and medical staff a glimmer of hope.

Baby Ganeh needs breathing assistance and continued medication, but doctors believe medical intervention will eventually become unnecessary as he grows stronger.

“During our hospital stay, we felt like we were on an emotional roller coaster,” said parents Yuval and Amir, residents of Kiryat Gat.

“Today we walked out the gates of the hospital with our son, overcoming adversity. It was not an easy journey and our boy faced a near-death experience, but thanks to the medical team – true messengers from heaven – we smile looking forward to today and expressing our heartfelt thanks,” they said.

Hospital staff also celebrated the release of Baby Ganeh.

“This premature baby, born at 31 weeks, posed challenges that we had encountered before,” Dr. Globus said. “He has risen again and again to show us that our dedication and hard work paid off. We have high hopes for his future and I am honored to be a part of this amazing journey.” (ANI/TPS)
