Hazel's Homecoming

Born at 13 ounces - 378 days in the NICU ... Hazel Rose is finally home!
13's Melissa Brunner and Doug Brown followed the story on social media and, after the long wait to bring Hazel home, the family agreed to share their story with them.

[@kathy.7475]

My husband’s grandfather was a preemie. Born in the 1880’s he was put in a cigar box and kept near the wood stove for warmth. He died in 1974 at the age of 95.

[@SmallBunnyRabbit]

wow thats incredible

[@helenbyrne7663]

what a wonderful man

[@LandM4liferz]

so then he would be 94 not 95-

[@colchicine1]

What a sweet story.

[@LAnderson-gj7pe]

I, too, was a premee, 2 months premature, weighing three pounds. Born at home, Too risky to be moved to incubator I was kept at home . This was in 1947 when we were not as advanced as today. I am now 77 years old and consider myself to be a miracle baby and a survivor!

[@kristinezerebkina9383]

It is really unbelievable, without oxygen therapy, incubator and with premature feeding reflex. It is a miracle that You are able to write this comment ❤I'm so glad for you

[@LAnderson-gj7pe]

Thank you. I must have been a fighter

[@beckyboo1433]

Now that's a real miracle 🤩 With no modern technology

[@seventhdayissabbath8747]

I too had pre-eclampsia and my son was born at 29 weeks weighing 2.3lbs and was 14.5 inches tall... He is now 45 and has had no lasting effects from being born so early.. Praising God for these little miracles.

[@annsowers4591]

My nephew was born at 24 weeks. Talk about a roller coaster. He weighed a little over 2 pounds but lost down to under a pound. He was in 3 different hospitals for a total of 7 months. He has required several life saving surgeies and God led them all. He will be 32 next week. His health isn't perfect but God keeps us all going. It takes entire families to give these children a running chance. Thank God for his miracles.

[@Anna_Studio06]

Hope he will get better soon❤️

[@sueteran]

I hope that she prospers and thrives. What is wrong with the people saying negative things about this couples precious little miracle?

[@stephanieann622]

I’m starting to believe that some people in this world can’t stand to see beautiful things, or to be genuinely happy for someone else. It’s really sad.

[@Christine-j7b]

she looks like her mum., what a little miracle! Be blessed precious one!

[@brianabob1216]

God bless this little miracle ❤ My husband was born 12 weeks early. They are both miracle babies 💚

Amazing little girl. And amazing parents!

[@debbiesteffen448]

The parents blessed little Hazel with their positive attitude. Some of the longest living people credit thinking positive go Hazel and her loving parents❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@matthewcrome]

I was an extreme preemie too - not nearly as premature as her obviously (I was born at 26 weeks weighing 2 pounds, spent 48 days in the NICU), but she is a miracle! I hope the best for her quality of life growing up - I am fortunate to have very mild autism and physical/medical disabilities and am working on my BA (I plan to eventually get a Masters and possibly a PhD to study autism and intellectual disability) as we speak! She will probably face far more challenges than I ever have, but I wish her the best!

[@amyahlquist3436]

It’s bittersweet they are giving 22 weekers a chance now which I’m greatful for the other parents that they do. I had my baby at 22 weeks 5 days and they just let him die. He stayed with me for 45 minutes until he left me on this earth I will always love him. It honestly messed me up for a long time mentally I felt so cheated because I wanted more time with him he was my first baby. I had two more children both were early born at 32 and 33 weeks the ptsd was really hard but I got through it . I’m sure I drove my ob nuts at times but he understood.

[@ktcooki276]

Aww gosh, that's so sad hun.xxxx

[@angelikkax6353]

It's so very sad. I can feel your pain. Your (first) little one is watching over you!

[@URFUTUREUK]

How old are you? Why would you risk this?!

[@URFUTUREUK]

@@kaycampbell8532 it is offensive that a woman that knows the risks would risk the life of a child for their own wants and needs. Absolutely disgraceful. I'm entitled to my opinion. I actually posted this on the main thread I dont know why it's on yours.

[@jbbajangamer]

​@@URFUTUREUK If anything dispatching of the child because it would be "inconvenient for the mother" would be far more selfish, you don't think?

[@chantellegattrell7073]

Hospitals have come along so much 20 years ago. They probably wouldn't have been able to save her now. Look at it their miracle. Congratulations!

[@enidmelendez7067]

Another miracle baby ,they are fighters and fight with all they have . Technology has advanced a lot ,it's a rocky road But so worth it . She's love and wanted by her parents and family . Congratulations ,it will get easier with time . We have three babies in the family and the biggest one was only 15oz. Hazel is blessed .

[@laurascrimgeour]

Aww she is so sweet. That’s what I call a determined little girl who plans on being stubborn and a handful as the days go by x

[@URFUTUREUK]

How old are you?! Why would you risk this 😢

[@singlewhitefemale1707]

Seriously?? She didn't " risk" ANYTHING! She had problems at 23 weeks. She developed pre eclampsia, something nothing can prevent. Don't be so quick to blame a mother for problems not foreseen. Sometimes sh*t happens, even to healthy Mom's.

[@justagirlintn1]

Wow, some people are unreal. Why would she risk getting pregnant and having a baby? You are absurd. She had a normal pregnancy and soon after developing the complication she gave birth. No one could predict that. You are not a very nice person.

[@LilladyTK]

Stop being so cynical you don't know what they've been told or what they are actually commenting on

[@ibanezza6341]

I was born three months early in 1972 I made it I have asthma and I'm blind in one eye from a completely different thing I was told I would be sterile from meds, wouldn't live past 25. Guess what I got a 147iq, I'm 52,and I have two sons Doctors can be morons too Oh, I'm also a fairly decent drummer Wish your baby well Go get em kiddo

[@thomasplouffe1363]

shes one but she doesn't even have a tooth yet? its odd also that her head and torso are pretty normal sized for a 1 year old infant, however her limbs are the length of maybe a 3-6 month old, regardless she is an adorable little girl who fought massive amounts of odds just to be here and i hope she has a long, healthy fun filled life

[@popcornanytime7414]

Yes, she may be one, but if you correct her age for the time she should still be in her mother’s womb, she is only 6-7 months.

[@blugreen123]

My niece was born full term and didn't have any teeth until she was one either. This baby's adjusted age is only about 6 months.

[@singlewhitefemale1707]

Why bring attention to her short comings of what we consider "normal"?? Why not bring attention to the fact this child survived?? I'll never understand other people's judgement. Nor will I understand why people feel the need to bring attention to what's considered "short comings" to normal children. She is what she is. A " normal baby" for what she's gone through.

[@gillianlaing1073]

My son had no teeth at 12 months,dentist said all babies are different, my daughter had all teeth by 12 months

this is about life, a baby's life is precious at any stage... it’s hard to me to believe that there are pro-abortions in this world (a.cruel murders of such little defenceless innocent children) and it’s legal💔... Watch the video of former doctors, especially nurses, who talk about how cruel killed that small defenceless babies, some of them were still alive on a table and then cruelly murdered by twisting their qneck, breaking baby's spine, how the alive baby’s legs were torn off and he survived...Please protect the defenseless innocent babies in the womb, join pro-life, help to educate a new generation to live responsible, specially in reproductive health ... An abortion propaganda is a vile lie, it dirty bloody business, it is never a healthcare...Being pregnant is always a Childbirth; in one case (in the right case) baby born alive and given for adoption, for example. In the second case, the brutal murder of an innocent defenceless baby without any justification. There are no medical reason for it ( ask former abortioninsts), a baby can born prematurely and healthcare providers fighting for his life. Rape? Is it baby's fault? ...Join pro-life movement, this movie shows how important is the life of each baby...wanted or not wanted it is not about "choice", it is about being human or monster...
