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.
