They released this statement to RadarOnline.com: "We realized early that it would be a long, unpredictable recovery, which is why we opted to stay in Little Rock close to the expert staff at Arkansas Children’s Hospital.

Today Josie weighs only 4 lbs., 12 oz; this is a big step in the right direction because at birth she weighed 1 lb, 6 oz.
