Pixie was three months premature when she was born. The little baby who was no bigger than her mom’s Hand had stopped growing in the womb because of complications with the umbilical cord and placenta. When Pixie was born, she was rushed to the intensive care unit. Unfortunately, the hospital didn’t have equipment small enough to keep the preemie baby warm so, they placed her in a sandwich baggie from Tesco and rushed her to NICU. According to the New York Times, babies thin skin allows water to evaporate through it quickly, so putting them in plastic bags or plastic wrap before wrapping them in blankets can keep them warmer than a blanket alone. Grant was hopeful and anxious that the plastic bag would help save her daughter’s life and she was right although it certainly wasn’t an easy process for the new mum; she was unable to touch or hold Pixie for 18 agonizing days.

Pixie is now 5 months old, growing bigger and healthier every day. To think God saved her using a normal, everyday product is a true miracle and Pixie is proof. 💕💕💕
