| World's Smallest Baby (8.6 ounces) Leaves Hospital http://www.click2houston.com/family/4177226/detail.html World's Smallest Baby Leaves Hospital Twin Sister Went Home Last Month Posted: 2:24 pm CST February 8, 2005 Maywood, Ill. -- A little girl who's believed to be the smallest surviving baby in the world has been sent home from the hospital. Rumaisa Rahman was born in September weighing only 8.6 ounces. That's about the weight of a cell phone. She was discharged Tuesday from Loyola University Medical Center in the Chicago suburb of Maywood. She currently weighs 5.5 pounds and is more than 16 inches long. A Loyola doctor says Rumaisa's prognosis is very good and she's expected to develop normally. Her fraternal twin sister, Hiba, was discharged on Jan. 9. Hiba was only 1 pound 4 ounces at birth but now weighs in at 8.5 pounds. Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved. __________________ Family Ties Seasons 1-5 on dvd!  | |||

| Do you know how early she was born? I am assuming she was a premie. | |||

| It didn't specify whether or not she was a premie. I'm guessing she would have to be considering she was that small. __________________ Family Ties Seasons 1-5 on dvd! | |||
