Letter to the Editor: A miracle in Whistler

One year ago, a 'micro preemie' baby was unexpectedly born in Whistler's emergency department at just 25 weeks gestation

This week, one year ago on Jan. 17, a miracle took place in Whistler. A teeny, tiny baby was born in our emergency department. She was a micro preemie, only 835 grams, born unexpectedly at 25 weeks gestation.

Words cannot express the pure gratitude we feel to the special nurses, doctors, ambulance drivers and paramedics who helped bring our daughter into this world, stabilize us and deliver us safely to BC Children’s Hospital.

To the two amazing staff that greeted me after hours and guided us through the most terrifying and emotional night, we are so grateful. We will never forget your kindness.

We want you all to know that baby, born strong and feisty, continued to fight all her 255 days in the [neonatal intensive care unit]. Kinsley Munroe Clegg is a testament of strength and resilience. She is thriving at home and is the sweetest and happiest baby. She has continued to surprise her team of specialists throughout her journey. Thank you to all the medical staff for being a part of her success story, from the bottom of our hearts.
