Two weeks after being born, Larissa Hobbs holds onto her father's pinky finger while laying in her incubator in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Children's Hospital. Larissa was delivered unexpectedly premature at only 28 weeks and weighing 2 pounds. 8 ounces. Troy and Jena Hobbs of Normal brought their baby to Children's Hospital because of the good reputation of the NICU. DAVID ZENTZ/JOURNAL STAR
