Oddity

The Resume

    (September 19, 2004- )
    Born at Loyola University Medical Center
    Smallest baby to survive birth
    Born by caesarean section
    Birth height: Eight inches
    Birth weight: 8.6 ounces (244 grams)
    Mother: Mahajabeen Shaik, 23
    Father: Mohammed Abdul Rahman, 32
    Parents from Hyderabad, India

Why she might be annoying:

    Her birth weight was less than a can of soda.
    She was born 25 weeks after gestation.
    Her twin sister was discharged from the hospital a month before she was.
    Rumaisa means 'white as milk' and Hiba means 'gift from God.' (Which name would you rather have?)
    It cost the hospital $5,000 a day to care for her. Much of it will be picked up by taxpayers.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Madeline Mann, the previous smallest baby to survive (weighed 9.91 ounces), was also born at Loyola University Medical Center (1989). She turned out healthy.
    She spent her first half year hospitalized.
    At first she was given a 50-50 chance to survive.
    Her twin sister, Hima, weighed 1 pound 4 ounces at birth.
    She left the hospital at 5 pounds, 8 ounces (February 8, 2005).
    Her mother suffers from pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure), which effected Rumaisa
    She and her sister underwent laser eye surgery.
    She gained an average ½ ounce every day she was in the hospital.
    Her parents moved from India to the United States.
    Doctors believe she will grow up with normal physical development.
