A True Christmas Miracle

‎12-25-2017 11:35 AM

The family of a premature baby girl born the size of a soda can received the best Christmas present this year – the gift of having her come home.

 

Eliora Schneider was born at 21 weeks and six days gestation weighing just 13.6oz – the size of a can of coke – in mid-June this year.

 

Now despite massive odds, Eliora – or Ellie as she is affectionately known – is home in Kansas City, Missouri, with her parents Robin and Joel and her brother Elijah, two.

 

'It's such a dream come true to have her home for Christmas,' said Robin, a 30-year-old administrative assistant. 'We kept praying for this as she grew stronger as the days passed in the hospital.

 

'Christmas is such a special time of the year. It's all about a baby and his birth and we are so fortunate that we have our own baby girl home to celebrate the season with.

 

'It truly is a Christmas miracle.'

 

 

Tiny: Eliora Schneider was born in mid-June four months early, weighing just 13.6oz
 
It will be a very quiet, family Christmas since they still have to be careful that Ellie isn't exposed to coughs, colds and other viruses since she is still gaining strength

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
