World's Youngest Preemie

Baby Jemarius Jachin Harbor Jr. was born at just 21 weeks gestation in December 2019, making him the youngest surviving preemie ever. Live Action News previously covered his battle to survive, and now, in an exciting update, Jemarius has graduated from the NICU, and is going home.

Born on December 20th, Jemarius weighed just 13 ounces, and measured smaller than a hand. His mother and father, Jessica McPherson and Jemarius Harbor Sr., told doctors when Jessica went into premature labor to do everything they could to save their son. “We looked at each other in the eye and I told him just give it a try,” McPherson told Fox5. “I just want you to try. As long as you try, that’s all that matters to me. Don’t just up and say that you can’t do it. Just ‘cause you haven’t done it doesn’t mean it can’t be done.”
