A baby girl who weighed just 1lb 2oz (510g) when she was born about four months prematurely has been discharged from hospital.
Lilly was born on 9 December and since then has received round-the-clock medical care.
She spent months being looked after by a large team at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where she was treated for three infections and had major surgery for a bleed on her brain.
But on Tuesday, Lilly's mother Tayla Menear, 26, thanked staff for saving her "22-week miracle", who was finally allowed home after growing to 5lb 8oz (2.5kg).
At the family home in Fakenham, Norfolk, Lilly will be looked after by her mother, her 29-year-old father Shane Rumbles, and a specialist support assistant.
