J.R. Smith’s miracle continues … the NBA star finally got to hold his preemie daughter (born after only 21 weeks) … and says it’s one of the greatest days of his life.
As we previously reported, Smith’s wife gave birth to baby Dakota in early January almost 5 months before her due date. Dakota only weighed 1 pound at birth.
Now, more than a month later … Dakota is still fighting and doctors determined she’s strong enough to allow her parents to hold her in the NICU.
Smith posted a photo of their first “skin to skin” session. Smith wrote, “Today is one of the greatest days of my life. Today I get to hold my youngest for the first time! GOD is GREAT! #DakotaStrong.”
J.R.’s entire family has been by Dakota’s side at the hospital — even reading to her as she continues to battle.
