No kids yet, but I am involved with a kids hospital, as is my mom, and my sister is a NICU nurse (different hospital). I told my mom about you tonight and she said that Simone has the best odds of doing well. She said that at our hospital, for some reason little girls do better than the boys. Both of which have a great outcomes, I'm not trying to discourage little boy moms...I'm just saying that I'm excited for you and want you to have every bit of joy out there! (disclaimer: no science here, at all. I'm not clinical and my mom is (sorta), but not currently acting as a nurse, dr. or otherwise, but this is what she's heard) Gawd I feel like I am surely going to get killed for saying what I did. Keep in mind, I'm a peon, and I see premature babies of all varieties doing GREAT every day. GREAT, I say! Now just feel stupid, Love to you and all the BabyMommas, and Daddy's!

I remember watching Jeffrey flail his little arms around and do leg lifts in his isolette. It comforted me that he was fighting his way through the problems. She'll get through this and you'll get through this. Much love and prayers! PS. She is gorgeous!! Remember that our sweet little NICU babes are great fighters!
