Tiny Miracle Brings Big Joy for Christmas

When Connor Sorensen was born six months ago, he weighed less than a pound and his father's wedding ring fit loosely around his tiny leg. Doctors weren't sure if he would survive.

Today, he is going home to spend his first Christmas with his family.
Connor was just 14 ounces when he was born on June 29 - that's two ounces less than a pound. He was only 24 weeks old and the smallest baby ever born at Florida Hospital in Orlando, Fla.

"When Connor was first born, the staff at the hospital suggested we take a lot of pictures," Connor's dad Eric Sorensen said, according to a hospital news release.

"Because of how small he was, no one was sure if Connor would be able to survive. Someone suggested I put my wedding band around his leg to show how small he was. It is amazing to look back on that photo and see how far he has come."
