The first-time parents embarked on an 18-hour road trip from North Carolina to Oklahoma so family could see Eli.
"I expected them to be really surprised because they had no clue we were coming," mom Tyler Edmond told "Good Morning America."Courtesy of Tyler Edmond & Children's Hospital in Wilmington, North Carolina, following his birth. According to the Edmonds, their baby boy was born via cesarean section on Nov. 15, 2022, at 23 weeks, weighing in at just 1.9 ounces.
"A lot of 23-weekers, micro preemie babies, they experience a lot of major head trauma, so they may get brain bleeds and seizures and things like that. Luckily, that wasn't the case for Eli. It was a miracle that he didn't have any long-lasting effects from being born that early," Tyler Edmond said.
