Born at 27 Weeks, Baby Skymillan Defies the Odds After 79 Days in NICU

 Born far too soon at just 27 weeks, Baby Skymillan entered the world weighing barely enough to fit into the palms of his caregivers’ hands. What followed was a 79-day journey of courage, resilience, and unwavering medical care that would ultimately see him go home a miracle.

Skymillan spent his earliest days fighting for life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at LifeCare Hospitals Eldoret. Supported by advanced neonatal technology and round-the-clock expert care, each day became a victory—one breath, one heartbeat at a time.

Throughout his stay, the hospital’s dedicated NICU nurses, maternity team, and attending neonatologist, Dr. Jagadish Gundaji, worked tirelessly to guide the tiny fighter through critical moments. Their skill, compassion, and commitment played a vital role in helping Skymillan grow stronger day by day.

After nearly three months in the NICU, the moment everyone hoped for finally arrived: Skymillan was strong enough to go home.

Recently, his mother returned to LifeCare Hospitals Eldoret—not as a worried parent, but with gratitude in her heart. Her visit was a celebration of the team that stood by her son when he needed it most, and a powerful reminder of what compassionate, quality healthcare can achieve.

At LifeCare Hospitals Eldoret, stories like Skymillan’s are a testament to the belief that in the NICU, hope lives—and miracles grow.
