A mother has shared her experience about her son’s premature birth at 25 weeks.

Jordyn Allison said she delivered her baby weighing 2 lbs 8 oz.

The child spent 17 weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) before being discharged at 42 weeks, weighing 8 lbs.

Looking back on his journey, Jordyn described her son’s survival as a miracle.

“No matter what you believe in.. God, a higher power, the universe, fate, science, medicine, or simply the strength of the human spirit, I will always believe that something greater than myself helped carry my baby through,” she wrote.

“There were moments of fear, uncertainty, and prayers whispered into the dark. There were doctors, nurses, medical advances, support from loved ones, and so many things that came together at exactly the right time. However you choose to see it, I am endlessly grateful.

“Looking at my baby now, I can’t help but see a miracle. Not because everyone’s definition of a miracle is the same, but because against all the worry and challenges we faced, he is here, growing, smiling, and reminding me every day how precious life truly is.

“This journey has taught me that hope can come from many places, and that love is something we can all believe in.

“Whatever faith, beliefs, or understanding of the world you hold, I hope this story reminds you that sometimes incredible things happen, and they deserve to be celebrated.

“My baby is my miracle, and I will never stop being thankful for everyone and everything that helped bring him to this moment. #miracle #NICU.”
