Episode Details

A tiny miracle born at 23 weeks and 6 days, weighing just 12.5 ounces, Raelynn defied all odds to become the smallest baby ever to leave the NICU at American Family Children’s Hospital — surviving 375 days of intensive care, open-heart surgery, and near-impossible medical interventions. Her mother Aubree, battling lupus and sepsis during pregnancy, refused to give up, urging doctors to “do everything in your power.” Now 13 months old and thriving at 18 pounds, Raelynn’s survival is celebrated as a triumph — but her mom faces a new battle: needing a kidney transplant. As the family prepares to return home, they’re navigating dual health crises with resilience, knowing Raelynn’s breathing tube will come off around her second birthday — a milestone that once seemed unimaginable.
