A suburban toddler who spent more than 500 days at Chicago's Lurie Children's Hospital is finally going home.
"I'm very excited, I'm ready, nervous, anxious but it's been long overdue," said Autumn's mother, Tyler Robinson, before the departure.has been right by her daughter's side for more than 500 days in the hospital.
"She's gone from a baby who we had to take over breathing and keep her very quiet and very still for a long period of time to a baby who's acting, or a toddler, who's acting like a toddler," said Dr. Megan Lagoski, attending neonatologist at Lurie Children's Hospital.It clearly hasn't been easy. Autumn was born at 23 weeks, weighing just 1.1 pound. Doctors gave her a 50/50 chance of survival. Her mom wasn't sure she would even live a moment.
And fight she did, with the help of the Lurie health care team and specialists for the micro preemie's struggling lungs and heart."She's rolling all over the place. She smiles, she laughs, she engages in play with mom and other people that help her, and it's been fantastic," said Dr. Lagoski.
