Surviving preemie twin released after 14 months at NY hospitals Replay Video UP NEXT A girl born at 23 weeks and weighing just 1 pound at birth went home for the first time Monday after 14 months at New York hospitals. Blythedale Children's Hospital in Valhalla said a bittersweet goodbye to Ada Mesnard, of Poughkeepsie, who beat the odds and fought to live. She and her late twin brother, Weston, were born extremely premature in February of 2020 at Vassar Brothers Medical Center. Tragically, Weston died hours after birth, but Ada was a survivor. "We're going to set her up in her little crib with all the toys that she is familiar with and just talk to her, mom and dad there, and just get her comfortable," mom Laurena Mesnard said.
