Viserov Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 MAYWOOD, Ill. -- A little girl who's believed to be the smallest surviving baby in the world has been sent home from the hospital.Rumaisa Rahman was born in September weighing only 8.6 ounces. That's about the weight of a cell phone. She was discharged Tuesday from Loyola University Medical Center in the Chicago suburb of Maywood. She currently weighs 5.5 pounds and is more than 16 inches long. A Loyola doctor says Rumaisa's prognosis is very good and she's expected to develop normally. Her fraternal twin sister, Hiba, was discharged on Jan. 9. Hiba was only 1 pound 4 ounces at birth but now weighs in at 8.5 pounds. http://www.local6.com/family/4177226/detai...sp=irresistible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
