Nash weighed just 10 ounces and was 24 centimeters long, or just over 9 inches, at the time of his birth.

Dr. Patrick McNamara, one of Nash’s doctors, told ABC affiliate KCRG in Cedar Rapids he had to tell the Keen family that Nash had a 0% chance of survival based on the data available, but despite the long odds, Nash hasn’t just survived, he celebrated his 1st birthday alongside his family this month.
