First-time parents Alana and Jon Patten got to take home baby Gloria Mariselda home for the first time after her 80-day battle at the NICU at the McAllen Medical Center.

Baby Gloria was born premature, weighing 2 pounds at just 26 weeks old.

The Pattens could only see her one parent at a time because of safety protocols put in place by McAllen Medical personnel in an effort to protect families from the spread of COID-19.

Now, they're thankful for medical staff being there for them every step of the way.
