Karter King was born 14 weeks premature, and his doctors didn’t expect him to survive his first week of life. However, after 260 days in the hospital, Karter proved his “miracle baby” status. On May 13, 2020, he was taken off a ventilator and started breathing on his own.
Baby Karter was born on Aug. 27, 2019, at Cook Children’s Hospital in Texas. His mother, Alicia Bowlin, informed WFAA that her son weighed just over 1 pound (approx. 454 g) and measured only 10.5 inches (approx. 27 cm) long at birth.
