Would it be possible to correct my typos in the title?
Should be "Defying" and "Odds". Sorry about that.
Must be the second or third smallest.
My youngest neice was born 2 months early and 2 pounds - and she's a viable wonderful child today.
I won't get in the argument of abortion - but the medical community has provided ways of preventing birth for years, and there is of course the dimwit dreading "no sex" that helps out too.
This child is loved and wanted and will thrive under that. Thank you Beversmom for posting it. I missed it when I read my local paper, The Ledger-Enquirer, yesterday on the web.

NICU graduate bump
Those parents and baby Malachi are in for a long fight. Prayers that they make it. It can be done. Having a child fighting for his or her life in NICU teaches parents much about life, love and themselves.
God blesss the family and help this kid pull through.
Prayers needed for yet another WONDERFUL tiny baby!!!
A beautiful story. I hope he survives.
Offering my prayers
Prayers for wee little Malachi and his parents as well as the medical staff attending him.
Lord hold this presious baby in Your protective hands. May he have a full and healthy life. Amen
Malachi Andreas Whitlock prayer bump!!!
We are praying for little Malachi in this household.
Dearest Lord Jesus, please protect and make strong this little guy.
Thank you beaversmom for giving us the opportunity to pray for this little creation of God.
I know they're true....as my grandchild was recently born 8 weeks early....
...and for the same reason as the mom in this story......high blood pressure...rapid swelling of legs, etc.
Our granddaughter came into this world much loved and long awaited.
Our daughter visited NICU twice a day, and her husband after work.
They kissed Emily, touched her, held her, fed her, prayed over her and even made a recording of soothing lullabyes to put in her isolette, and taped their picture on the side of the crib.
Emily thrived!!!....
...She shrugged off every bell and whistle as fast as she could....and never needed a respirator.
She's now almost 8 pounds.....and continues to amaze everyone.
Her developement is advanced and her eyes and ears check out just fine!--and she;s very strong!!
Her parents are devoted to her and she's a very cute baby :)
God is good!
I love to talk about His marvelous works!...
..Our family is very pro-life and our daughter very much so.
God brought our granddaughter early for a reason......and I know she has already touched a lot of hearts!!!
And last, but not least, God bless the folks in NICU......technology has advanced, but it's just science without the loving, caring nurses and doctors who nurture these little ones to health!!
Praying for tiny Malachi and his parents. I love it when new fathers express overwhelming joy at the birth of their child.
Preemie Blessings Ping!
