<p>Five-month-old preemie weighing 900 gm undergoes and survives three complicated surgeries</p>

It wouldn't be misplaced to call baby Veer The Boy Who Lived. The infant has survived all the challenges life has thrown at him since the time he was in his mother's womb. Veer, who was only 900 gm when he was born, made it through three complicated, life-saving surgeries. All of 2 kg now, Veer is on his way to becoming a healthy baby. However, the path to his good health has been fraught with complications that began when his mother Gitanjali Rathod was seven months into her pregnancy. She developed blood pressure issues and the foetus began showing signs of growth impairment. Sonography reports showed the foetus was chronically deprived of oxygen and nutrition. Baby Veer was then delivered on July 19, in the 31st week of Gitanjali's pregnancy as there seemed to be no sign of survival in utero.
