A California baby born at 22 weeks is thriving despite being so small he could wear his dad’s wedding ring as a bracelet. He was the most premature baby the hospital had ever seen.
Ima Carnelus, 37, went into labor at 21 weeks due to a urinary tract infection (UTI). Doctors told Ms. Carnelus and her husband, Marcus Carnelus, 42, they had to pick between an emergency surgery or letting their baby pass away naturally. The couple wanted to “give him a chance” so tiny Jaxson was born via emergency cesarian section at 22 weeks.
