World's most premature baby born at 21 weeks celebrates 1st birthday
In a story related to Ginees records, Briefly News published an article that Richard Scott William Hutchinson was born five months prematurely, so young that he was given zero chances of survival.
The lucky baby recently celebrated his first birthday surrounded by family members, as reported by CNN.
Richard's delivery was forced after his mother Beth Hutchinson went into a medical emergency that led to premature labour. After staying for six months in the nursery at the Children's Minnesota hospital in Minneapolis, the little one was deemed fit enough for discharge.
"I remember picking him up out of his crib and just holding him with tears in my eyes," Kern relived the memorable day Richard was discharged from the hospital.
Born at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was impossible for Richard's parents to spend nights with him at the hospital, so they were forced to travel daily from St Croix County to Minneapolis.
