Was preemie, born week 31, under 3 pounds in serious trouble. Flown to Curacao for NICU, I woke up in ICU. She stayed three weeks there, I met her finally when she came back with hubby. She stayed another four weeks in Aruba hospital. Was finally sans feeding tube and at international acceptable/safe weight to go home week seven exactly. She was still so tiny to me - 2500 grams, but ready to face the world.
A few more challenges, two more stays at hospital, they expected her to become astmatic, yadda yadda yadda. See her now: like I said before Miracle Baby and the Grace of God! She is not one, but two dozen hands full! No autism, no learnign disabilities! We celebrate her health, especially the mental "department", every day.
