Rowan was given less than a 1 percent chance to live after he was born in April 2018, but 8 months later, the boy is still going strong.

His father, Daniel Breyts, was told by Indiana doctors to start planning for the baby’s funeral before he was able to hold his son, who was born 3 months early on April 11, 2018.
