And it can be so frightening, the unknown future of your child. Just try to remember that you don't know the future for any of your children, really, and that is OK, you just love them and hope for happiness and joy. No matter what gestational age or birth weight, there are exceptions to the rules and data. I think I have finally stopped comparing Gabe to every other 28 weeker or child born at 1 lb 6 oz. I think I'm done making my self crazy over comparing.
Every child is a miracle, and each is going to go through the preemie thing differently.
And I'm not denying that there is some scary data out there about long-term results and agree that you are probably better off knowing the facts and the reality. But don't limit yourself or your son to that. Have faith in him.
