They do amazing things with preemies these days. In my daycare I have a young girl--almost 12 now--who was born at just 24wks. She weighed a tiny 1 lb 3 oz & was only 11 inches long!! She was born Nov 8th & came home on her due date in Feb. She has never been back to the hospital even once! She did come home on oxygen & has been with me ever since they weened her off of the oxygen which did take a couple of more months after her release from the hospital. You would never know she had such a rough start in life--she has no learning disabilities, plays sports, & is just your normal preteen gal. Here's hoping that all 3 of these babies do as well as this little girl did.
