! POUND, 8 OUNCES
Teeny-Weeny Baby Is Fine

The nurses in the "preemie"
ward at Washington Sanitari-
UNI and Hospital are all aglow
over Kathleen Anne Devine.
They think they have a first
a one-pound. six-ounce baby
that lived.
The tiny daughter of Mrs.
Constance Devine, 90, of 1918
Ruatan street, Silver Spring,
weighed one pound, Is ounces
at birth but lost seven ounces
soon after. Today, however, she
weighed 2 pounds, ~ ounces,
five weeks after birth.
District General Hospital
said several years ago they had
a one-pound, 10-ounce baby
that lived. But the baby's
weight only dropped to one
pound seven ounces. Nurses at
Washington Sanitarium are
sure that District General did
not weight their baby right
away but only after the baby
had suffered the loss Of weight
customary after birth.
At any rate the nurses in
the premature baby ward are
aglow. And every day they move
a chair up to the window for
Mrs. Devine who sits and
watches the little handful for
two hours.
Despite the fact she was born
in the sixth month of preg-
nancy and was not due until
January, little Kathy, who Just
about fills up a good sized |
hand, has a full head of dark
hair. She is fed an ounce of
formula every three hours
through a plastic tube that is
run down through her mouth
into her stomach.
Shed grow tired very quick
ly if she had to suck on a
bottle" explained Mrs. Marion
Guenthe r, supervisor of the
nursery.
When all the nurses and
Mrs. Devine were clustered at
the ward window, Miss Donna
Tucker, assistant supervisor
said, IF looking at her is 60
ing to help, she's bound to make
it,"
At least one of the nurses
watches the wee one all the
time. Often they will take a
syringe to draw any moisture
or mucous from the small
mouth. The temperature in the
incubator is kept at 80 degrees.
I'VE keep it high enough to
keep the temperature of the
baby about 81 degrees" said
Mrs. Guenther.
MY children don't believe I
have a baby" said Mrs. Devine.
They haven't been able to Wis
it yet. And when 1 tell Mary
that Kathy is half the size of
her doll then she really doesn't
believe me-"
Mrs. Devine has two other
children, Mary, 9, and John,
jr., Z.
If Kathy is lucky, she will
have reached the necessary 4
pounds so that Mrs. Devine can
bring her home as a very spe-
cial Christmas present.
