| [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Britain's smallest surviving baby boy who weighed the same as a Coke can has survived against the odds. Theo Taylor was smaller than expected at a 19-week scan then stopped growing altogether and his parents were told to fear the worst. He tipped the scales at just 12oz when he was born at 26 weeks and five days. After being delivered by emergency C-section on March 15, he was smaller than his father's hand. His mother had been offered a termination the day before he was born because of his minuscule size. Parents Katie Rhodes, 24, and Jay, 27, only got to touch his hand for a few seconds before he was whisked away to be put on a breathing machine. |
