LOS ANGELES — At birth, Melinda Star Guido was so tiny she could fit into the palm of her doctor’s hand. Weighing just 9 1/2 ounces — less than a can of soda — she is among the smallest babies ever born.
Most infants her size don’t survive, but doctors are preparing to send her home by New Year’s. Melinda was born premature at 24 weeks in late August. Doctors say it is too early to say how she will fare developmentally and physically.
