When the small, preterm twins magically grasp hands for the first time in their lives. Although they were born sooner, they had to compete for survival with one another. They gained strength from this. A heartwarming tale of twins, a boy and a girl, who outperformed doctors’ predictions despite being delivered almost three months early. After pleading with their parents to have children, Harper and Gunner were delivered prematurely at the Medical Center Monmouth in New Jersey. The presence of young children in the world also comes with many challenges.

When I first met them, they had a large number of people who were wired to various devices. They believed Harper’s intestines were malfunctioning since she wasn’t growing normally. Then they discovered that she required surgery due to a hole in her heart. It’s dreadful; all I want is for her to live, said the children’s mother. Harper underwent heart surgery and was transferred to a different hospital without her brother, Gunner. The twins were in perfect health at birth and weighed slightly over 900 grams each. For them, each day of life is a success.

Fortunately, their health began to improve and after a month, the twins were reunited. Also after that, the first time the children’s mother held her baby, the children gave everyone an emotional surprise.

 

A month after being separated, twins Harper and Gunner held hands on the day they were reunited, and the moment was magical. “The moment they held hands, I felt overwhelmed and as if it was only then that I realized I was the mother of twins. It was the first time I got to hug both of them. When I saw them touching each other’s hands, I realized the strong bond that existed between them. I know that this bond will give them strength to make it through the escape safely,” added Amanda.

Little Gunner was the first to leave the hospital, but his sister spent some time there and was fed through a tube. The mother of the kids is crying with one eye while grinning with the other. She is relieved to be able to get home to her small boy, but she can’t help but think about Harper, who is still in the hospital. Baby Harper was also released from the hospital after 103 days and brought back to her family’s house.

Knowing that they would have not one, but two children, their surprise is not small. The pregnancy progressed normally until week 27, when Amanda’s health began to deteriorate. She was informed by the medical professionals that she would need to stay in the hospital under supervision because of her high blood pressure.

At 30 weeks pregnant, Amanda had a water break, and she was then taken to the operating room for a C-section. Despite the difficulties, the miracle babies defied all dangers to set out for their families, where they had been waiting for so long. They’re less developed than kids their age, but they’re little champions and little miracles, and we enjoy them every day,” added Amanda.
