Baby From a Fragile Start to a Healthy Future

A Miraculous Journey of Hope and Determination | Baby From a Fragile Start to a Healthy Future

Inamdar Hospital, Pune – On the 17th of September 2024, a tiny fighter made her entrance into the world, weighing just 1.250 kg. Born at only 29 weeks and 2 days of gestation, Baby was a beacon of resilience, love, and hope from the moment she was born. Today, 4 months later, she is a healthy, thriving infant, thanks to the unwavering support of her dedicated medical team and the love and determination of her parents.

Born through an emergency C-section due to complications with uterine fibroids, Baby’s early days were filled with uncertainty. She immediately required breathing assistance after delivery and was put on mechanical ventilation for the first day of life. Her fragile lungs were further challenged by severe Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), and she suffered multiple episodes of apnea, requiring reintubation and ventilation support.

With a host of complications including very low birth weight, sepsis, coagulopathy, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, and anemia, Baby’s journey was a testament to the strength of her spirit and the expertise of the medical team at Inamdar Hospital. Her small body needed support, but her fighting will carried her through.

Under the compassionate care of Dr. Sandesh Runwal and his team, every step of Baby treatment was handled with the utmost care and precision. Two doses of surfactant were administered to help her delicate lungs, and she was carefully monitored for common premature birth complications like Hydrocephalus, Retinopathy of Prematurity, Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), and Osteopenia of Prematurity. Though she had a small PDA, the team ensured all her needs were met with love, nourishment, and the latest medical interventions.

The medical team’s efforts were complemented by Kangaroo Mother Care, a natural and essential method for preterm babies that enhances bonding and promotes growth. Gradually, Baby grew stronger, gaining weight and moving beyond the critical stages of her premature birth. By the time she was discharged on the 26th of October 2024, she weighed a healthier 1.750 kg, a significant achievement for such a fragile infant.

Her discharge marked not just a milestone in her medical journey but also the start of a bright future. Today, Baby is 4 months old, healthy, and flourishing. Her parents, filled with gratitude, continue to bring her in for routine follow-ups and vaccinations, a proud reminder of the medical miracles that happen every day in the world of neonatology.

The incredible success of Baby journey is a true reflection of the collective effort of Dr. Sandesh Runwal, the dedicated team of doctors, nurses, and most importantly, the unwavering love and dedication of her parents.
As Baby continues to grow and thrive, she is a living testament to the miracle of life, the power of modern medicine, and the love that surrounds her. Her story is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of both the tiniest fighters and the incredible medical teams who help them through their most challenging moments.

Thank you to the team at Inamdar Hospital and to the Baby’s parents for trusting us with this precious life.
