Miracle Baby in MN

The world’s most premature baby, weighing only one pound at birth, has just celebrated his first birthday and set a Guinness World Record.

Richard Scott William Hutchinson was born at Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis five months before his due date. Despite being given a 0% survival chance, Richard was released from NICU after six months and celebrated his first birthday on June 5.

Although we serve a variety of clients, in our 21 years as a home care agency, we have served many premature infants. They are near and dear to our hearts. We are so delighted to see this little one’s success story!

This CNN article has more information on Richard and his unique story.

I’m Joan, and I know home care from the inside out. I’ve navigated my daughter through 24/7 home care nursing and managed her PCA’s. I’ve helped my parents move into (and out of) assisted living, Medicare episodes, skilled nurse visits, home health aids, and PCAs. Sandwiched in all of that, I’ve helped coordinate home care equipment and supplies, physical therapists, occupational therapists, county workers, and medications (oh, the medications). I know emergency departments, children’s hospitals, cancer wards, cardiac floors, and specialty units. I can recite health insurance policies (and call their bluff). I know a lot of other things in life too, like Shakespeare, where to sit to see a great sunset over a lake, how to keep myself healthy, how to read a profit/loss statement and state statutes, when to use a comma, and that gratitude is one of the keys to success. So I’m going to have this blog and write about home care from time to time. I’ll include topics like current legislation, professional boundaries in a tricky environment, and being a caregiver. I’ll also post some guest blogs from clients and nurses. Join me in the conversation.
