FERGUSON, MO — Monique Jones kept her baby close as she celebrated Christmas with her family in Ferguson, Missouri.
"I don't want her away from me," Jones told news station KMOV of her daughter, Zamyrah. "I feel like she was away from me for too long."
Zamyrah entered the world at just 29 weeks. She was tiny and fragile, weighing just over 2 pounds. As the baby was fighting for her life in the neonatal intensive care unit, her mother was waging her own battle against COVID-19, the coronavirus illness.
