She was born at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital in San Diego. Her parents were told may not live more than 24 hours and now her story is known around the world. When you’re the tiniest baby ever to survive in the entire world, news about you is big news.
When you’re taken out of your mother’s womb at just 23 weeks because you have to be to save your life and your mother’s and you are brought into this world weighing less than 9 ounces, and after 5 months in neo natal intensive care, you grow to 5 ½ pounds and you go home with your parents, and the doctors and nurses who care for you call you a miracle….you are in indeed making headlines around the globe.
And the news about little baby Saybie comes at a time in this country when the debate over when life begins has made lots of news, too, with controversial new laws being passed and new legal battles being waged.
The debate is not new of course.The debate over the right to life, the right to choose, the rights of an unborn baby and the rights of women has been going on for a long time.
And now with the story of Saybie, the miracle baby in San Diego, being told worldwide, that debate is sure to go on, as this little girl grows to tell her own story herself one day.
