A man with a full time job cannot afford to exist, and a child steps in to help. Consider me uplifted.
This is r/orphancrushingmachine material.

That’s not uplifting at all. Someone shouldn’t have to rely on charity if they work.

A posession charge hung over my dad's head for almost 30 years until his death last August. It's the reason the only job he could get was cab driver, where he only made $40-$60/day to support 6 kids. I hope this change can impact many lives for the better.

Since being discharged, Adiah has been growing “really well” and meeting all the milestones for her corrected age
Adrial has been admitted back to the hospital twice since being discharged, spending several weeks fighting off infections and respiratory issues. After returning from his last hospitalization, he required home oxygen support.
Adrial has now outgrown his twin sister and is “progressing well.”

How does it not lift your mood that these two beat all odds to survive?

There is a point where if your born too early, death is a better alternative than developing out of the womb. These babies suffered constant skin peeling, brain bleeding, perforation, spesis, and more due to their premature status.
In a way this story is a kind of cruelty to these children, and they may have lifelong disability depending on how they came out.

Babies who were expected to die in front of parents who wanted them, after months and months of complications, ended up alive an well and in care of loving parents.
It also shows advance in natal care, advance in our understanding of development in and out of the womb, and gives some hope for many parents who have experienced troubled pregnancies.

Goddamn I'd be leveling a mental distress charge at that hospital if they were constantly telling me to take my babies off of support. And then of course denying care...but what's going on there, since they're clearly hooked up to some machines, so why didn't they just do that from the beginning?

Weighing just 330 g (0.72 lb), baby girl Adiah was born 23 minutes before her brother, Adrial, who weighed 420 g (0.92 lb). At a combined 750 g (1.65 lb), they are the lightest twins at birth ever.
The record-breaking Nadarajah twins entered the world at a gestational age of exactly 22 weeks. If they’d been born even one hour earlier, no attempt would have been made to save their lives.

I hope that this helps to gain time for longer term solutions. Climate change will make droughts more common, this has been a warning that everybody can learn from and work for a better future.

When the "improvement" is because of more than an isolated storm, maybe it'll be uplifting, but this is polishing a turd.
They're only out of the drought for maybe a few months. Watch what happens in summer.
