My water broke when I was 23 weeks pregnant and our miracle son was born at 24 weeks. He has been such a fighter his entire life. He has always met his developmental milestones based on his due date. Today he is 2.5 years old and acts like any other child his age. He loves tractors, dirt, music, coloring and his new baby sister. He is talking up a storm and challenges every boundary. His mark of prematurity is his very tiny size of only 21lbs. We loved our NICU and are so thankful for all of the staff, nurses and doctors at our hospital. During our NICU stay and even to this day we have had tremendous support from the hundreds praying for this child, our families, our church and our workplaces. We thank God for our miracle!
Thank you TODAY show for featuring these little fighters and their families.
