Premature Baby With 2% Survival Chance Is Given ‘Graduation Party’ Discharge By Hospital

A premature baby who had literally no chance of survival, was given a grand celebration party at the hospital when he was born.

The baby Cullen Porter was born at 22 weeks and weighed just 13.9 ounces after spending 160 days in the hospital.

For the party, the staff at the hospital dressed him up in a cap saying “graduates” and a gown from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) located in Mobile, Alabama.

It was indeed a cause of celebration for the parents and the staff at the hospital because Cullen had a 2% chance of survival but the parents went to the University of South Alabama Hospital determined to get the best treatment for their son.

They had to commute for 160 days from their home in Florida to Alabama every day.

Thankfully now Cullen weighs a healthy 5 pounds and 11 ounces and has been released from the hospital.

Verse of the Day

“[The Day of the Lord] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,”

2 Peter 3:10-11
