BELGRADE, Serbia – After weeks of anxious waiting and daily hospital visits, baby Ognjen, a premature infant, has finally been discharged and welcomed home by his overjoyed family. The emotional journey, shared by his parents, highlights the resilience of both the tiny patient and his dedicated family. "We waited for this day for so long. We counted hours, days, weeks," the mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared in a heartfelt statement. "Every morning call to the hospital was both hope and fear. We rejoiced at every sentence: ‘he’s doing well, he’s progressing,’ and our hearts stopped when the phones didn’t answer." Ognjen's parents described the profound impact of their visits, often just an hour long, during which they held their son, savored his scent, and memorized his every movement. "That hour was our whole world. After it, the day would make sense, even though saying goodbye broke our hearts every time," she recounted, also noting the difficult balance of being with Ognjen and their older children. The video captures key moments of this journey, from images of Ognjen in his incubator and a hospital ID tag, to the parents' drive to the hospital and the father carrying the baby in a car seat down a hospital corridor.

"Today, a difficult chapter ends, and the most beautiful one begins – life together," the mother concluded. "Our little miracle is finally coming home." The family's story resonates deeply, offering a message of hope and perseverance to others facing similar challenges.
