Drayke Alan Crom was supposed to have been born on July 19. Instead he came into the world 12 weeks premature.
Drayke was 11 inches long and weighed just 1 pound 4.7 ounces when he was born by Caesarean section on April 28. Doctors had kept his mother, Lorri King, 45, of Lewisburg, on bed rest for a month before the birth, hoping to postpone the delivery.
