REALLY Premature Baby

Ward was born three and a half months early when his mom, Lyndsey, was told that she had a clot in her placenta.  He was born at one pound and thirteen ounces, but he dropped to one pound and seven ounces after he was born.  Lyndsey and Ben Miller, Ward's parents, were told that there was a 50/50 chance that their son would grow up to be normal. After ten days of being alive, it was found that Ward has blood in his brain tissue; it eventually went away. Ward spent over one hundred days in NICU in Ohio before being released to go home. Throughout the entire journey, Ben Miller documented some very important times like when they were finally allowed to bring baby Ward home. After a very tough first year, Ward is growing, and acting just like a 16 month old boy should be.
