River Wilson, born as a micro-preemie, was shorter than the average-sized Barbie doll. Author: Carrie Hodgin (WFMY News 2 Digital) Published: 12:14 PM EDT May 5, 2021 Updated: 12:34 PM EDT May 5, 2021
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. He weighed just 1 pound, 11 ounces after he was born at 25 weeks.
River Wilson was born on Nov. 15, 2020, at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. He was shorter than the average-sized Barbie doll. He spent 169 days in the NICU.
River’s parents, Jessica and Hayden Wilson of Greensboro are glad to have their baby boy home with them. He has two older sisters, Ridgely, 8, and Murphy, 2.
Jessica Wilson went into labor early at 19 weeks due to preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). She was admitted to the Birth Center where her labor was delayed for six more weeks.
John Neville, a 56-year-old Greensboro man, died Dec. 4, 2019, while in custody at the Forsyth County jail, after he apparently suffered a seizure after being restrained in a prone âhog-tieâ position. Five former jailers and a nurse now face criminal charges.
Those are unpleasant, even gruesome facts. But itâs necessary for those who care about public matters to be aware of them.
Thereâs more that the public should know, and the Winston-Salem Journal has joined a coalition of media outlets that sued on Monday to have that information released.
The information includes a 723-page report by the State Bureau of Investigation, an internal investigation by the Forsyth County Sheriffâs Office, officersâ statements, investigative notes, jail medical records, Nevilleâs medical reports and video of the incident that led to Nevilleâs death. The contents are being held by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services.
Staff Report
WINSTON-SALEM Patients and visitors will soon notice work taking place to prepare for the new $450 million care tower at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
The project includes an upgraded emergency department, state-of-the-art operating rooms and enhanced adult intensive care units and is the next step in a series of significant investments in the Triad as a result of Wake Forest Baptist Health’s strategic combination with Atrium Health.
The care tower will be built where Parking Deck B currently stands. Before this parking deck can be taken down, two helipads will be built on the top of Parking Deck C, near the emergency department and the Comprehensive Cancer Center, to accommodate medical helicopters from Wake Forest Baptist’s AirCare, and those from other hospitals and air ambulance providers.
