A premature baby who was born at 28 weeks’ gestation was given only a 20 percent chance of surviving. However, he has beaten the odds stacked against him and achieved a milestone as he celebrated his first birthday.
Riley Patterson, from Aughnacloy, Northern Ireland, was born on June 20, 2019, weighing a mere 1 pound 12 ounces (approx. 794 g). According to RTE, baby Riley’s father, John, said that he was so small that the dad’s wedding ring could fit over his leg.
