Lyanna’s son Mark, who was born after going into labor after 22 weeks of pregnancy, weighed only 0.5 kg (1.2 lb). He was smaller than an adult’s palm and lighter than a box of chocolates.[사진= 영국 더선 보도 내용 캡처]A 500g baby, smaller than an adult’s palm and lighter than a box of chocolates, miraculously survived. The mother had to say goodbye 30 times while her baby patiently held on to her breath. This is because more than 30 times, it was predicted that the baby would die soon.
When Lyanna Cropsey, 25, from Godalming, England, was rushed to hospital after going into labor at 22 weeks, doctors warned her to expect the worst. Lyanna’s son Mark was born weighing 0.5 kg (1.2 lb).
According to a recent report by the British daily TheSun, Mark weighed less than a box of chocolates (600g, a box of Quality Street chocolates) and was born before 24 weeks, when babies are expected to survive, and was given dozens of births due to predictions that he would not survive long. I was asked to say goodbye. Mark overcame numerous infections and illnesses, and was able to be held in his mother’s arms for the first time at the age of two months.
“It’s been the longest few months of my life,” Lyanna said. She was told over 30 times that Mark would not survive. He is now almost two years old and, although a little delayed, is hitting all the developmental milestones. Medical staff are amazed at how well the baby is recovering. “He is now 9kg (20lb) and is always smiling and joking,” she said of Mark’s current situation.
Labor after 22 weeks due to blood infection… Contrary to expectations that I would die, I live like a miracle
When Lyanna gave birth to Mark, she suffered a terrible pregnancy due to a blood infection. At 22 weeks, her labor began and she was rushed to the hospital. At the hospital she said she wouldn’t even try CPR if the baby she was born with was unresponsive. Her medical team expected her baby to die at birth, so they hospitalized Rihanna in the ‘Forget Me Not’ room. This hospital room was surrounded by small coffins for babies who would not survive.
“I was under the influence of morphine, an anesthetic, and I and the other mother next to me were told that either the baby or one of us would die,” said Lyanna. “We were heartbroken even as we prayed for a miracle,” she recalled.
Lyanna was transferred to St. Peter’s Hospital, where she could receive better care. Three days after labor began, on January 14th, Mark was born. He was dead because he couldn’t cry. Just when he was horribly thinking, the nurse shouted that he was alive. But he was such a small baby. Wrapped in her red towel, Rihanna was only visible for two seconds before she was immediately hooked up to a ventilator and rushed to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). Mark was relieved to hear that he was alive and well in the NICU.
But there was a long way to go. The baby was so small that all of its organs were immature. In particular, supplying enough oxygen was the key since Mark’s lungs were not fully grown. “He was so small, you could fit a ring on his entire hand,” Lyanna said. The fact that Mark is still alive feels like a miracle in itself. “All I could do was hold him and feel his little heartbeat against my chest,” she said.
Mark suffered from RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). This virus is common in children under 2 years of age. It usually causes a cold, but in some cases it can be fatal, causing serious symptoms and even death. In particular, Mark went through several hardships because of this, and the doctors told him to prepare his mind because they thought he would not live much longer. But as time passed for Mark, he survived against all odds.
After going through several difficult times, the doctors told me to prepare my heart because it seemed like Mark would not live much longer. But as time passed for Mark, he survived against all odds. In early 2023, he weighed 6.3 kg, but now he has increased to 9 kg and is growing well.

A few months later, in November, Lyanna was told by medical staff that she could take Mark home. I heard.
Rihanna prepared Mark’s nursery with help from friends and family. Mark suffered many health problems, including numerous infections, blood transfusions, PICC (peripherally implanted central venous catheter), and laser surgery on his eyes. Nonetheless, he miraculously survived. Although Mark still had to be put on a ventilator, he and his family were able to spend time together on Christmas Day that December.
In early 2023, Mark weighed just 6.3 kg (14 lb), but now he weighs 9 kg. The fact that he is alive is a great joy to his family. Now Mark is a happy kid who never stops waving his hands, clapping his hands, and smiling. Although he has to visit the hospital regularly to check on Mark’s health, his family feels a miracle every day just because Mark is alive. This year, the mere presence of Mark, who is growing better than expected, became a great Christmas present.
