A tiny baby, who was kept in a sandwich bag for safety, is finally going home.

The parents of a baby named Robyn, who was born very tiny at just 11 ounces (328 grams), have finally brought her home after 18 months in the hospital.

Robyn was born five months early in March 2023 at Grange Hospital in Cwmbran, Torfaen, and she still needs special care all the time. Her parents, Chantelle (34) and Daniel (38) from Malpas, Newport, are raising money for her treatment. Chantelle said, “It’s like a dream come true to have Robyn home.”

Robyn was born at just 23 weeks and 2 days and was so tiny that she could fit in the palm of a hand. To keep her organs warm while she grew, she was kept in a sandwich bag.

After six months in the hospital, she spent another seven months in the pediatric intensive care unit at Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital in Cardiff. She then returned to Grange Hospital until she was finally discharged in September.

Chantelle, who works part-time as an accountant, said, “It’s just so nice to do normal family things… and just all be together under one roof.”

Daniel, a self-employed bricklayer, mentioned that it’s much less chaotic at home now. He has had to cut back on work to focus on taking care of his daughter.

Robyn gets oxygen and nutrition through tubes in her nose and mouth, and her vital signs are watched all the time. She takes 30 doses of medication each day.

Her mom, Chantelle, explained, “She can’t cough, so we have to suction her mouth and nose throughout the day when she needs it.”

Daniel described Robyn as doing well and enjoying the “peace” of being at home. He added that they do a lot of physical therapy and play with her to help her senses.

Chantelle said it was tough to bond with Robyn in the busy hospital ward, with doctors and nurses always coming in and out.

“All you can do is sit next to her and watch,” she explained, “keeping an eye on the numbers on the screen and hoping she will be okay.”

“When Robyn was born, we weren’t sure if she would survive.

“As time went on, she grew bigger and stronger, but she still faced many problems. It became clear that her brain damage would have a big impact on her.”

‘We know nothing is impossible’

“We didn’t learn about her brain damage until about six months after she was born,” Daniel said.

“You have all these plans for how life will be, and then everything changes,” he added.

“But we try to stay positive.

“We know that nothing is impossible for Robyn because she has been told so many times that she wouldn’t be able to do things or even survive, but she keeps proving everyone wrong.

“She’s full of surprises, and I believe she will create her own story.”

Dolly Parton was criticized for looking “cheap” and “ugly,” but she has responded.

Dolly Parton has enjoyed a long and incredibly successful career in the spotlight.

Her talents have spanned decades and styles, making her a constant presence in the entertainment industry for as long as we can remember.

Despite her legendary status, she still has to deal with critics. Recently, some people have been giving her a hard time about her looks, even though she’s nearing her eighties.

Dolly Parton, 77, is a well-known name in both country music and the celebrity world.

The Tennessee native is a true legend and has loved entertaining her fans throughout her long career.

In a recent interview with Pollystar, Dolly explained that she won’t be touring anymore. She said:

“I’ll do special shows here and there, maybe a long weekend of shows or a few at a festival. But I have no plans to do a full tour anymore,” Dolly Parton said.

Dolly, who rose to the top of the entertainment world after growing up in poverty in the Appalachian Mountains, will definitely be missed on stage.

Despite her undeniable popularity, some people still criticize Dolly Parton for her appearance.

In fact, her appearance has been a topic of criticism since the start of her career. Dolly has even mentioned that people used to tell her to change her signature look if she wanted a serious career.

“The main advice people gave me was to change my look—simplify my hair and the way I dress,” she explained.

“They would say I looked too cheap and that no one would ever take me seriously.”

Over the years, the mean comments haven’t stopped. Some people feel even more justified in labeling Dolly unfairly.

One Twitter user wrote, “Dolly Parton is one ugly lady,” while another said, “Dolly Parton is so ugly, but she has nice breasts.”

Despite the unkind comments online, Dolly stays positive. She is comfortable with her body and looks, and she isn’t about to change for anyone.

“It costs a lot of money to look this cheap,” she once famously said.

Regarding her husband, Dolly has shared that he loves her no matter what.

“He doesn’t care if I’m fat,” Dolly said. “He’s fool enough to think I’m the sexiest, prettiest woman in the world.”

Dolly is always eager for new challenges. According to Rolling Stone, she’s ready to embrace her 2022 entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by creating an album that might be outside her usual style.

Fans were thrilled when it was announced that Dolly was being considered for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, Dolly herself was initially hesitant, believing that, since her career was mostly in country music, others might be more deserving of the honor.

In the end, the voters decided that Dolly belonged in the Hall of Fame. In November, she was inducted and immediately began working to prove that she deserved the recognition.
