Nash Keen, born at 21 weeks, is now recognized as the youngest prematurely born baby on record. Weighing only 10 oz, he was admitted to the NICU immediately after birth at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. His parents faced grim survival odds but remained hopeful. They celebrated small milestones during his care, which included moments of joy like holding him for the first time. The care provided at his hospital is regarded as exceptional, making it the best possible place for such a critical birth circumstance.
That day was so special to me, I just soaked in that moment and just I cried, of course.
He just kept fighting and he stayed with us. He's so strong, so resilient.
If you were born at 21 plus zero weeks anywhere in the world, this is the best place.
I told them, based on current technology and science, the chances of survival are zero, but we will do everything in our power to try and beat those odds.
