The Story Night Podcast

Episode 62 - Leigha Hill - Part 1

Leigha's story takes us from California, where she was raised, to Georgia, where she met her husband, and finally to Oregon, where they dreamed of building their family. If you ask Leigha, "How many children do you have?" she will always answer, "Two," even though today you would only get to meet one of them. Leigha's son, Henry, was a micropremie, born weighing just 14 ounces. As days in the NICU turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Henry became known as the "comeback kid," defying the odds time and again whenever it seemed his family might lose him. In Part One of Leigha's story, we're reminded to celebrate every small victory and to keep believing in miracles.
