MARBLE FALLS, Texas A Texas mom went into premature labor last week in the midst of the devastating storm that paralyzed the state. But due to their remote location and inability to travel to a NICU, a group of doctors created a mobile unit for the baby.
The doctors went the extra mile, literally, as they drove for an hour from Austin to Marble Falls to make sure the baby was properly cared for. I started freaking out, said the newborn s mom Kimberly Arias. I started crying. I didn t know what to do.
Arias baby was welcomed into the world at just 24 weeks, which is a level that doctors say a baby is going to normally need NICU care.
