Her name means resilient fighter and her doctors and nurses said she is more than that -- Amillia Sonia Taylor is making history.
"To me it's just a miracle," a nurse on staff at Baptist Children's Hospital said.
Amillia is the new world record holder for a baby to survive through gestational age, according to the University of Iowa's national registry for the tiniest babies.
"We have a special baby here today because she was extremely premature at birth 21 weeks and 6 days," said neonatologist Dr. William Smalling. "There is no known survivor born this early to ever go home and not only is the baby going home she is thriving and doing well. It's a special day for us all here."
