Little Rumaisa Rahman and her twin sister are miracle children. They were born in Chicago September 19th, at 25 weeks, some 15 weeks early. Rumaisa weighed a mere 8.6 ounces, and her bigger sister Hiba weighed 1 pound 4 ounces. It was a miracle they survived at all, but now Hiba is preparing to go home at the end of this month, weighing 5 pounds. Little Rumaisa now weighs 2.2 pounds, and is expected to go home next month. God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to raise a preemie that small. What would you use for a diaper, a Kleenex? I can't imagine they make diapers that little. And dressing the child. How difficult would that be? I'm glad my preemie weighed 4 pounds 12 ounces. That's a manageable size.
