A touching story of a little baby
This baby pictured was born in a hospital in East Surrey, England, 16 weeks too early. at the 24th week of pregnancy. What are the chances of such a child to survive? Very, very small. English doctors gave this baby only a 5% chance of survival. And then her dad decided that he would photograph every day how his daughter was fighting for life. He immortalized not only joyful, but also difficult moments, and it turned out to be a very touching story of a little crumb who survived against all odds.
