Smith eventually gave birth to a son, and her life support was shut off four days later, on June 17.
In a new update, the woman’s family have said that the newborn continues to fight for his life.
According to reports, the child, who has since been named Chance, weighed just 1 lb. 13 oz. when he was born via emergency cesarean section on June 13.
Smith’s mother, April Newkirk, has recently revealed that Chance now weighs under 5lbs.
It’s understood he will potentially be able to leave medical care at the end of September or at the beginning of October.
« His weight is gradually picking up, but the breathing is what we’re concerned with, » Newkirk said on Wednesday (August 27), as reported by PEOPLE magazine.
“So, he’s making a little bit of progress, but still some things to do. »
Newkirk previously said that the family ‘just want prayers’ for Chance so he can become healthy and strong.
