This is a great story. A baby, born 13 weeks premature weighing only 24 ounces, has had successful open heart surgery.
The infant weighed only 24 ounces at birth, and his heart was no bigger than a grape.Can you imagine operating on a grape? Even the biggest ones would be such delicate work.
Doctors at first thought they wouldn't be able to conduct the complex surgery that included switching the aorta and pulmonary arteries in his heart.
"Jerrick is doing far better than expected, especially since he was originally given no chance of survival." said Maria Lourdes, his mother. "This miraculous surgery has corrected his heart problem. Now I'm just looking at a premature baby. I don't know how to express how thankful I am."Another miracle to be thankful for.
