Conor Sorensen was born four months early. Weighing in at just 14 ounces — less than a pound — he was the tiniest baby born in the history of Florida Hospital in Orlando. The baby boy, born June 29, 2013, was given only a 33 percent chance of survival. Like many premies, including 15-ounce Marie Massey, who also survived, Conor's organs didn't develop correctly, and he underwent five intestinal surgeries. But the family never gave up hope.
"I literally took my wedding ring off and put it around his leg, and there was still plenty of room," Connor's father, Eric Sorensen told ABC. After six months of intense monitoring, Connor was able to go home just in time for Christmas. At six months old, Connor weighs six and a half pounds.
"It's a great feeling to beat the odds, especially right in time for Christmas," Eric said. Eric and Holly had spent eight years trying to conceive. Due to pregnancy complications, doctors had to perform an emergency C-section on Holly. It's evident, Connor was their miracle baby in more ways than one.
"I've been dreaming of this day for so many years," Holly says. "It's a Christmas miracle."
