She weighed just 212 grams at birth, about the same as an apple. Kwek Yu Xuan came into the world at just 24 weeks and six days of gestation, and doctors feared she wouldn’t survive.
She spent 13 months in the hospital, depending on machines and treatments to stay alive. But against all odds, she kept growing until the day her parents had been waiting for so long: she could go home.
By the time she was discharged, she weighed 6,3 kilos, almost 30 times more than at birth. After coming into the world fighting for survival, she could finally go home with her parents.
