Preemie born weighing 15.5 oz. now graduating high school

PFLUGERVILLE, Texas (KXAN) — High school graduation is a big day in the life of students and parents. Flashback 18 years ago, the McCarty family never believed it would be their reality.
Their son, 18-year-old Ryan, was one of Central Texas’ smallest surviving babies at birth and he tried on his high school cap and gown for the first time Friday.
“Feels good,” Ryan said. “Feels good to wear.”
He will don the graduation outfit again Saturday night for Hendricks
