Baby born weighing tiny 1lb 14oz gets to go home nine months after pioneering transplant

A baby who was born with a rare genetic disorder has had a pioneering transplant to save her life. Aria Leigh Foreman weighed a tiny 1lb 14oz when she was born on November 19, 2021.

Mum Kayleigh Coyle attended hospital when she noticed less movement and was asked to come back the following day for a growth scan. Kayleigh was rushed in for surgery after medics made a "30 second crash call” when they realised her baby's heart rate was drastically low, the Daily Record reports.

Aria was brought into the world just one hour later but she was taken to the neonatal intensive care unit at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital in Glasgow, where she spent three months of her life before being transferred to the QEUH.
