Chloe Lived: My Story
By: Linda Cobb
Have you ever held a newborn baby so tiny she could fit in the palm of your hands? Linda Cobb's granddaughter, Chloe, came into this world weighing just one pound and ten ounces, and Linda was able to hold her in the palm of her hands! Linda knew, when she first held her, Chloe would be God's miracle to her family!
Oh, was she tiny. Chloe was so small even the smallest preemie diapers were too big for her at first. Although she was tiny, Chloe was a fighter! She wanted to live and fought every challenge that tried to destroy her. She had to be hooked up to several machines just to survive her first months of life. Her home for almost three months was the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the hospital. Her bed was an incubator.
Linda visited and held Chloe every day she was in the NICU, and those moments were so precious to her! As Linda watched her progress and daily improvement, eventually Chloe came off the machines and was able to leave the hospital healthy and strong. Yes, Chloe lived!
