People has posted a story with a much more realistic look at what it's like having a preemie.  I feel so sad for them because it sounds like things are pretty rough (which is to be expected for a 25 weeker).  The comments that people posted are pretty silly though.

Their comments kind of rub me the wrong way. I hate that God's will statement. I doubt it is God's will to have a child suffer, I just don't get how you could think that. I also don't like how he said the other children will mature due to this experience, lik ethey are looking for some kind of silver lining. I hope the baby is well, though, and that the Duggars are coping okay.

I don't watch the show, but I feel for them.  I hope their little one does as well as she can and comes out with minimal problems.

The comments make me sad.  Having a preemie baby is not God's way of saying to stop having children.  That's a horrible thing to think.  I don't care how many children they choose to have, provided they can support them (which they obviously can).  I just hope the stress of having a preemie doesn't affect their family too badly and they can pull out ok.

I actually found a website that really mentioned some preemie issues we all know about (temperature, a's and b's, and monitors) probably one of the more realistic views of the situation.  No mention of "fine"

The comments infuriate me.

Rachel, I took her "God's will" comments to mean she was trying to accept whatever was to come as God's will..
I know I prayed for acceptance when Robbie was in the hospital. If God called him home, I wanted to be able to handle it..

I may be misreading and who knows.. I mean, they think a miscarriage is the sign that they should never prevent pregnancy in any way, so I think their thinking is a little wonky, but that's how I took it.
