MOBILE, AL. (THECOUNT) — “Mama, I’m coming home!” An Alabama hospital held a “graduation ceremony” for Cullen Potter, a Mobile baby who defied all odds after being born at just 22 weeks, weighing 13.9 ounces.
Cullen, who is now a healthy, happy 5 months old, is still a tad small for his age, so his parents had to be creative to find him some garb. All for a lad, who was given just a 2 percent chance of surviving.
Video posted by the University of South Alabama Children’s and Women’s Hospital in Mobile shows Cullen Potter dressed in a black cap and gown, the star of the show, as he is walked down the hallway of the hospital.
“We were [at Build-A-Bear] with our older son and my wife was looking and thought it would fit Cullen,” Cullen’s father, Robert Potter, told ABC News. “The hat was actually a little big.” source
Cullen’s mother, Molli Potter, wrote in a Facebook post that doctors said he had a two percent chance of survival.
“Well, here he is,” Potter said. “Alive and thriving. Never give up.”
