The world’s most premature baby celebrates first birthday after beating 0% odds of surviving.
A baby born weighing less than a pound has beaten the odds and
celebrated his first birthday, becoming the most premature baby to
survive, according to Guinness World Records.
Richard was born at Children’s Minnesota hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after his mother, Beth Hutchinson, suffered medical complications that caused her to go into labor.
When Richard Scott William Hutchinson was born five months prematurely – recognized by Guinness as the world’s most premature baby – his doctors prepared his parents for the worst.
He weighed just 11.9 ounces and was so
tiny, he could fit in the palm of his parents' hands. But inside his
little body beat the heart of a fighter. After six months in the
hospital, Richard was discharged from the NICU.
This June, he celebrated his first birthday as a thriving, smiling little boy. Miracles do happen.
Thanks for coming by today.
