A Washougal family's son, Teddy, was born three months premature, weighing only 14 ounces with a 10% survival rate. After battling infections and pneumonia, a steroid shot helped improve his condition, and he is now expected to live a full and healthy life, although he will require respiratory support and extra care for the first two years. Teddy's family is looking forward to bringing him home by the end of the week.
The CEO of baby clothing brand Kyte Baby issued two apologies to a former employee, Marissa Hughes, who was fired after requesting to work remotely from the neonatal intensive care unit where her adopted premature son was being cared for. Hughes and her husband adopted their son Judah after facing multiple pregnancy losses and IVF. The CEO admitted to being insensitive and selfish in denying Hughes' request and offered to continue paying her as if she were working remotely until she's ready to return. The couple received support from the baby care industry and raised over $48,000 through a GoFundMe to cover adoption expenses.
