A heart-rending 80-day struggle to survive: Battle of a preemie baby from the moment he was born at 26 weeks
The parents of a baby born at just 26 weeks have opened up about the ordeal of having a premature baby after they were finally able to take their tiny son home.
Erica and Jared Pruett's little boy, Walker, weighed in at just over one pound when he was born around three months ago.
His parents had to wait five days until they could hold him and even then they only had 45 minutes each day with him.
But finally, after an 80-day journey in the neonatal intensive care unit at Forsyth Medical Center in Winston Salem, North Carolina, Walker is at home with his family, happy and thriving.
