The Video Shows That Love Makes Premature Babies Stronger

This video captures one of the many touching stories of premature babies, around the world. Seeing Lyndsey, Ward Miles Miller’s mother, hug her baby covered in wires and connections made me feel a little shaken.

The first few minutes of the video that stormed social media seemed painful and beautiful at the same time. She was able to hug her son, who was born 15 weeks earlier than expected, with the help of at least two nurses holding some of the tubes and cables that connected the little newborn’s body to devices that help him cling. to life.

At first, Lyndsey’s face looks worried, but it also conveys – and I do not even know how to explain this, because it is more than an expression – love and tenderness . In a scene where she comes home, she says she thinks of her son and that she always does.

She loves him and never loses faith in God and never stops believing that he will be saved, against all odds and adversity. And he gets ridden. “He’s a fighter,” she says at one point.

The video, titled “Ward Miles – First Year,” shot by his father Benjamin Scot, a professional photographer, is a love story that condenses 107 days of hospitalization into six minutes.

A video about love for a premature baby

“The video summarizes my son’s first year. He was born very early and had to overcome many great obstacles, but none was greater than God. This is a story about a mother’s love for her baby, ”Benjamin wrote.

D enne beautiful video shows the unconditional love a mother has, never lose faith that speaks to her baby every day and showing him tenderness, though she knows he is facing difficult situations, because of how small he is.

The chances that Ward Miles Miller would survive were slim, as there are too many premature babies in the world, but they are also in the hands of many who never stop believing in them.

The text of one of the photos that Benjamin Scot posted on his Instagram says something like: Today is a big day for him, they want to put an IPCC line in him that stretches from a vein in his arm or the bone, all the way to his heart.

It is a delicate procedure, but it will be a big step forward for him. Keep praying for my new best friend.

The pictures also give an account of the constant struggle that premature babies have inside an incubator. “I would like to thank doctors, nurses and staff around the world who make it their mission to help these babies get better. Thank you for giving my son the opportunity to come home! ” Added Benjamin.

Ward Miles Miller’s father’s viral history

“Ward Miles – First Year” is a viral video, but it’s not the only story of such a beautiful fight. I know there are hundreds of mothers in the world who have amazing stories to tell.

Last year I interviewed Elba Herrera de Encinas. She is the mother of Jorge Andrés Encinas, who was born five months premature t and weighed 500 grams and who the doctors who cared for him did not think would survive. But he did.

“The nurses said to me, ‘He doesn’t look like he can handle the challenge.’ These words meant that they did not think the child would survive. Elba never noticed them.

Both Ward and Jorge were born earlier than they were meant to be; their bodies were not matured, but in addition to the latest technological advances, both mothers have dedicated themselves to loving their children.

Both spoke to their babies in the incubator, their faith was never broken, although the forecasts seemed daunting. They were both convinced that their love, and God’s help, would save their children.

It should serve a purpose

After 14 respiratory arrests, months of hospitalization for intensive care at the pediatric hospital, surgery, emergency transport to other hospitals for cardiac arrest… sleepless nights, parents’ financial sacrifices and years of therapy, Jorge Andrés not only survived: He is now a healthy and talented 9-year-old child, says Elba Herrera.

Her pregnancy was multiple, with the babies starting to break down about five months later, due to blood pressure problems, chronic tension and pre-eclamsia, so she underwent a therapeutic abortion that saved a pound of baby weighing 500 grams and later 400 grams .

“Everything that has happened to Jorge should serve a purpose. We started working on this and sharing our experience because it is God’s work and there is value in the work done by parents, family, teachers and other people who are around our premature baby, ”says Herrera, who also has watched the video around Ward Miles.
