CHICAGO, Ill. â Earlier this month, the March of Dimes reported that the pre-term birthrate in the U.S. increased by more than 10% for the fifth year in a row.
For parents of premature babies, itâs an emotional journey filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Two years ago, little Bryce Harshfield came into the world.
âHe is a miracle baby,â said his mother Dana Harshfield.
Born at 24-weeks, Bryce weighed just 1 pound 5 ounces.
âHe was so tiny and, you know, in those first initial days, they have to prepare you for the worst,â she said.
