We are 29 weeks today. It’s a major milestone because her chances of survival have jumped to 85 – 90 percent. So have her chances of having little or no complications after two years of developments.
However, I am going to have to lie here and do a little more cooking for at least another five weeks because the goal now is to keep her out of the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU. I am told that the longer I hold her in the less time she spends there, so I am holding.
She is still a little tiny, weighing at 2 pounds and 10 ounces. Otherwise her development is on track. In fact, she is already trying to breathe on her own. Lol – that’s my little fighter.
