All infants are small at 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, but the story of Ward Miles, who was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 15 weeks premature, is particularly remarkable.
Little Ward, who was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 at almost 5.5 months, has made significant progress thanks to his parents’ care and affection, as well as the assistance of physicians and nurses. Benjamin Miller, a photographer, also filmed the remarkable first year of their infant son. This video, which gives premature mothers encouragement and hope, was viewed 4.5 million times in four days on YouTube. 
“I was so concerned for him. He was not to blame. He was incapable of fixing it. We were unable to remedy anything. The physicians were unable to treat anything. It was a horrible sensation. We could only pray,” the patriarch later explained.
The video begins with new mother Lyndsey carefully lifting up her son, who weighed just 680 grams and was roughly the size of a mother’s hand. Four days after his premature 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, he was admitted to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. The infant’s entire body was wrapped in carriers, making him appear so forlorn that any observer would shed tears for him. 
With the assistance of the nurses in repositioning cables and medical equipment, Lyndsey settles into a chair while holding her infant son to her bosom. The new mother grins for the camera before becoming overcome by the moment and bursting into sobs. The touching scene is just one example of the emotional roller coaster the couple has experienced since the delivery of their premature son on July 16, 2012.
Early on, it was frightening that the infant’s low 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 weight and premature 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 could have irreversible consequences.
The majority of the ut was removed from the infant and bundled in a diaper.
“On such a trying day, we were there. The infant did not have a respirator or a tube. And then, abruptly, he turned his head and… smiled! We were aware that he could not see at this point, but the fact that he opened his eyes so widely was something we had never seen before. He was staring directly at us! I had ample opportunity to photograph the subject. Eventually, he closed his eyes and rotated his head back slightly towards the ceiling. Never will I forget that moment. I believe he told us, ‘I’m alright! Don’t lose confidence in me!’ Here’s that image.” 
The miraculous has occurred. On October 31, 2012, after spending his first 107 days in the hospital, Ward Miles eventually returned home.
Mr. Miller stated, “It was an incredible sensation to have him back where he belonged. Without the affection and prayers of family and thousands of friends and supporters, some of whom they had never encountered, the family could not have endured their ordeal. I would like to thank all the doctors, nurses, and staff members around the globe who make it their life’s work to assist sick babies recover! Because of you, my son ever had a possibility of returning home.” 
Ward no longer requires a feeding tube; he can now grasp the formula himself!
“THIS is why it should be prohibited. What a gorgeous video! I myself am a new father, and I cannot fathom my existence without her. I pray nobody witnessed my tears at work. lol. Someone said, “May God bless them and grant them many more years together.” 
“My son was only two weeks premature, but he spent those two weeks in the N.I.C.U. due to extensive respiratory issues. I cannot fathom what these parents endured, but I am glad their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 is doing well. Enjoy him every day,” said another.
