Helping Hands Birth

This is why kangaroo care should be standard of care for all babies!

Twin girls, Brielle and Kyrie, were
born 12 weeks ahead of their due
date. Needing intensive care, they
were placed in separate incubators.
Kyrie began to gain weight and her
health stabilized. But Brielle, born
only 2 lbs, had trouble breathing,
heart problems and other
complications. She was not expected
to live.
Their nurse did everything she
could to make Brielle’s health
better, but nothing she did was
helping her. With nothing else to do,
their nurse went against hospital
policy and decided to place both
babies in the same incubator.
She left the twin girls to sleep and
when when she returned she found
a sight she could not believe. She
called all the nurses and doctors
and this is what they saw.
As Brielle got closer to her sister,
Kyrie put her small little arm around
her, as if to hug and support her
sister. From that moment on,
Brielle’s breathing and heart rate
stabilized and her health became
normal.

a little bit of tender love and
affection can save someone's Life.
