醫療團隊相信早產嬰可以生存
該名BB被改名Chance,因懷胎僅約6個月就出生屬早產嬰,體重1磅13盎司(約82公克),目前在新生兒加護病房接受治療。史密斯的母親紐科克(April Newkirk)表示,醫護團隊認為Chance「應該可以撐得過去」。

母親憶女兒突發腦血栓
史密斯的媽媽回憶女兒4個多月前因劇烈頭痛到亞特蘭大北區醫院接受藥物治療後出院,沒想到隔天早上突然呼吸困難,由其伴侶緊急送院。埃默里大學醫院醫師檢查發現其腦內有血栓,不久後宣布腦死。

州法規定需延續維生治療
家屬指出,院方當時說明,由於喬治亞州法律禁止在檢測到胎兒心跳後墮胎(懷胎6週左右可檢測到),因此不能移除史密斯的維生系統。隨Chance順利誕生,醫院將於本月17日為史密斯移除維生儀器。
