Wow, a baby surviving a four month pregnancy is incredible! That’s amazing news. And I’m glad that at least in one place phone calls from prison are free because I know they can mean a lot to the people inside them.

It was interesting that the doctors predicted zero chance of survival, but this little guy surprised them! I’m glad you enjoyed Good News Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
