26. Akyra and De’Jah Akyra and De’Jah Akyra, 19, delivered her daughter De’Jah on July 21, 2010. Born at only 24 weeks gestation, De’Jah was 1 lb., 9 oz. De’Jah had significant medical challenges and was referred to several specialists. Throughout Akyra enrollment in MO.M.S., De’Jah’s growth has been tracked and her health has steadily improved according to pediatrician reports. Although there was initial concern that De’Jah would suffer hearing loss, Akyra reports that De’Jah has now passed all of her hearing screenings. In addition, Akyra has returned to school to complete her college education in Secondary Education through an online program. De’Jah will celebrate her first birthday this summer.

27. Tanika and Tyreke Tanika and Tyreke Tanika, 30, a mother of two, delivered her infant son Tyreke on Aug. 28, 2010. Tyreke was born at 27 weeks gestation. Upon release from the hospital, Tyreke was sent home with an apnea monitor and oxygen along with several recommendations for medical follow-ups. Through enrollment in the MOMS program, Tanika, along with her husband D’mitri, have worked diligently to keep Tyreke up-to-date with all doctor’s appointments and evaluations. They have also participated in regular educational dialogues regarding infant safety and development. Today, Tyreke breathes independently without supplemental oxygen, no longer uses the apnea monitor, and has avoided other complications common to infants born prematurely. In the fall, Tyreke will celebrate his first birthday.

28. Rachandra and Dylan Rachandra and Dylan Rachandra, 34, enrolled in the MOMS program in July 2010. What appeared to be a perfectly normal pregnancy was interrupted when her son Dylan was born at 26 weeks gestation. As a result, Dylan entered the world at 2 lbs., 1.6 oz. and suffered cardiac arrest while waiting to be transported to the neonatal unit, where he spent 4.5 months in the NICU. Dylan has survived preterm labor, surgery, pneumonia, developmental problems, and feeding challenges. However, he has overcome the odds of infant mortality in Clayton County, turning one-year old on Oct. 29, 2010. He is truly a miracle baby and is proof that no one should ever give up hope.
