Tiny Fighter: Preemie Overcomes the Odds and Thrives
Meet Emma and Ryan, a couple who captured hearts with their adorable pregnancy announcement that went viral a few months ago. They’re back in the spotlight with the first snapshots of their little miracle.
You might remember them from the touching “Bun In The Oven” video that took the internet by storm last September. In this heartfelt clip, Emma surprised Ryan with the news that, after 17 years of trying, four miscarriages, and one stillbirth, she was unexpectedly five months pregnant. With over ten million views, the couple’s story resonated with many.
However, just weeks after sharing their joy, they faced a heartbreaking reality when their son, Noah, was born prematurely. Arriving during Emma’s 24th week of pregnancy, Noah weighed only 13 ounces. Doctors gave him a mere five percent chance of survival, prompting Emma and Ryan to create a Facebook page, “Emma and Ryan’s Baby Bun,” to share updates and request prayers.
Fast forward to now, and it seems those prayers are being answered. At just one month old, Noah has grown to weigh one pound, five ounces, and while he still has a long road ahead, Emma is filled with gratitude for each day they have together. “If you had told me six weeks ago, while I was in the ICU, that we’d be here celebrating this milestone, I wouldn’t have believed it,” she shared with joy.
To help cover the mounting medical expenses for their little fighter, Emma and Ryan have set up a GoFundMe, which has already raised over $6,000 toward their $10,000 goal. They are incredibly thankful for the outpouring of support from strangers who have followed their journey.
This past Wednesday marked World Prematurity Day, a perfect occasion to highlight the challenges faced by families of premature infants, the resilience of these tiny fighters, and the dedication of medical teams who work tirelessly to support them. With one in ten infants born prematurely, stories like Noah’s provide hope and inspiration to many.
We’re rooting for Noah’s continued growth and health, and we look forward to sharing more uplifting updates about this brave little bun soon!
