The announcement of a woman’s pregnancy is usually cause for joy, as it allows the family to look forward with hope to the arrival of a new member and the child’s potential.
Naturally, almost every pregnancy has its share of difficulties.
Even with all the advances in medical technology, there are still risks involved with giving birth.
Little Tru Wende Beare has an incredible backstory. She was already fighting for her life when she was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound.
Eleven days after Tru’s birth, her mother finally got to hold her for the first time.
Tru got better with the help of the medical staff at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, Canada.
But she still had a long way to go in her struggle.
