About a year ago, I shared a story of a girl who was born at about 20 weeks. The doctor thought she was dead at first, or perhaps she really was. Minutes later they noticed she was breathing. In Mexico, parents often name their first born after their corresponding parent. But this Mom had something else in mind. She wanted to name her Milagros which means miracle in Spanish. I wanted to share these pictures because you need to see it to believe it. It is a real life miracle. Even after seeing this photo I have had many ask me, is this really real. The shoes are the ones she wore at 4 months of age. The other photo is of Milagros today. She is the one on the left. She is 16 years old and beautiful. She has a hearing impairment but that is the only evidence of her being born so early. Miraculously she is able to speak some words, write and read as her mom had her attend school through the 6th grade. She has learned a little sign language and her family has been super supportive in communicating with her as much as possible. This summer a doctor came and saw her need. He knew of a physician here in Monterrey and connected her and her family to Dr. Leon. The Lord has brought all these people together to continue to work more miracles in her life. God is providing continued education for her to learn sign language and Spanish (both written and oral) that will help her to be more independent and gain the best possible kind of work. This school is also testing her to see if any hearing aids or other medical treatment can help her. Gracias a Dios for his continued miracles in her life. God has many plans for her and one day she will able to share with others what he has done for her.

That is crazy! She is so tiny!! How did they feed her?
ALSO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I hate to be the skeptic of such a great story, but are you sure she was just 20 weeks and that's a real picture? The acknowledged record was just last year at 21 weeks and 9.5 inches long: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11222-worlds-most-premature-baby-set-to-leave-hospital.html
In fact, I found the source of that picture: http://www.camilleallen.com/camille_allen3.htm
It's the 27th one down, and it is a wax model.
Thank you Brett. I was led to believe that it was her. I do not believe it is her now. Thank you. Sorry to lead anyone astray as I may have misunderstood her. She said she was born at 5 months. I wrote 20 weeks however it could have been 5 months and 3 weeks or whatever. Again, thank you for your feedback. Nonetheless, a miracle from God.
