Small as an apple, but look at him now

When Ryusuke Sekiya was taken from his mother’s womb by emergency C-section, he weighed only 9.1 ounces.  That’s smaller than a large apple.

For the past seven months, Sekiya’s been gaining weight and strength.  Although mostly fed through tubes within a Tokyo

hospital, he also tasted mother’s milk via swabs to his lips. 

Just recently, Sekiya’s parents finally got to bring him home.  Oh happy day!
