World’s Most Premature Baby Has Celebrated His First Birthday After Beating 0% Odds of Surviving

The world loves it when the little guy, pitted against enormous obstacles, beats the odds and comes back to win. So, you might say Richard Scott William Hutchinson, who celebrated his first birthday on June 5th, is the ultimate small but mighty contender.

When Richard’s mom Beth went into premature labor, he wasn’t due for another 131 days. Weighing in at just 11.9 ounces and measuring 10.2” in length, at the time of his birth, Richard’s gestational age clocked in at a scant 21 weeks and two days.

After the tiny infant was sent for care to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Children’s Minnesota hospital in Minneapolis, his parents were told he had a 0% chance of survival. But Richard set out to prove the doctors wrong—and that’s exactly what he did.

God bless them all. In the photo he looks like a perfectly normal 1 year old. I wish the article gave some present stats on him, for comparison.

Wow! He makes my 28-week preemie, who clocked in at a massive 1 pound 13.8 ounces, look big. Mine turned 13 a couple of months ago.

Thank you so much for the pictures. My daughter lost two babies at 20 weeks and 22 weeks and they looked exactly like Richard does. Both weighed more than Richard at birth, yet both were stillborn. That was some 25 years ago. Had they been born today the outcome might be very different.

Pelosi wants to kill babies at 15 weeks and I bet even older.

Atta boy! Get in there with both hands and enjoy that cake and icing. You deserve a celebration for the hard growing work you’ve put in! Thanks be to God for the life, the precious life of this little one.
