Baby born weighing 11 ounces

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Her legs are no longer than an adult's pinkie and her feet are about the size of an adult's fingernails.
Weighing 11 ounces, Kalea Lyn Allen was delivered three months prematurely Tuesday by Caesarean section after an ultrasound raised concerns, Dr. John Stanley said. "She's a survivor," said her mother, 27-year-old Deidra Allen of Sayre. "She's fighting." The infant has about a 40 percent chance of survival and the first six weeks will be the toughest, doctors said. Many of her internal organs -- including her lungs, intestines and kidneys -- are underdeveloped.
Kalea will remain hospitalized at Mercy Health Center at least until her original due date of Aug. 12, Dr. Sylvia Lopez said. Her mother is expected to be released in about four days.
