s/o micropreemies

Has anyone ever read this article? I came across it when our boys were first born. Just a little hope and encouragement for moms of micropreemies.

I will admit that I am a little hormonal, but that article made me cry.  What a great boost for micro-preemie mamas!  Nobody found me articles like that when I had my DD, because I guess there is more out there on the obstacles and challenges.  Thanks for sharing!  I am posting this to my facebook wall!

You are welcome! I have to admit that all the talk about 25 weekers "gets my goat" because I have 25 weekers and I am watching these babies beat the odds that were stacked against them. If the story of prematurity is really going to be told, then this side must be included as well.

I remember when that issue came out (months ago). I was standing in line at CVS and saw it by the registers. I picked it up to flip through it while I was waiting and started crying right there in the store.

As the Mom of a 24 weeker who has glasses I was very taken by Chris' story. It gives me hope. If wearing glasses is the worst thing that happens to my 24 weeker than our prayers were definitely answered. I was willing to accept anything (physical handicap, learning disabilities, etc.) as long as he survived, but I never expected a miracle.

Yes!  Katie and Jack were born days before they put this out!  Everyone got me copies of it.
