In a tale spanning 99 days filled with a spectrum of emotions - from struggle and despair to hope and joy - Arusyak Martirosyan shares her son Norayr's remarkable journey through the neonatal department of Erebuni Medical Center's maternity hospital.
Arusyak, aged 44, initially enjoyed a relatively smooth pregnancy. However, at 24 weeks, she faced a sudden threat of miscarriage, leading to her transfer to Erebuni Medical Center. Upon examination, doctors discovered a premature rupture of the amniotic fluid and signs of fetal distress, prompting an emergency cesarean section performed by the hospital's director, Andranik Poghosyan.
Norayr entered the world at just 24 weeks, weighing a mere 600 grams, and was swiftly whisked away to the neonatal department where Professor Pavel Mazmanyan and his dedicated team commenced intensive therapy.
Under the diligent care of attending physician Gohar Aharonyan, Norayr and his mother were eventually discharged, with confidence that the familiar surroundings of home would aid in the baby's full recovery.
It's worth noting that saving the lives of such premature infants demands not only advanced technical equipment but also a highly skilled medical team.
Thanks to significant advancements in technical capabilities and the dedication of its staff, Erebuni Medical Center's neonatal department has witnessed a growing number of premature infants being discharged annually.
Born on August 25, three months earlier than expected, Norayr's tenacious fight for life culminates in his discharge after 99 days, now weighing a healthy 2 kg, bringing immense joy to a home previously shrouded in sorrow following the loss of his heroic brother.
