Twin girls H & E were born prematurely at 24 weeks 3 days gestation in the summer of 2004. At birth H was 1 lb 3.5 oz, 11.5", E 1 lb 5.5 oz, 12". This is their story...
I hope you don't mind me posting on your site - but I have tracked it through TERRIBLE PALSY - We know Jacqui and Marshall through an Australian prem site. My Thomas was born at 28 weeks in 2005. He weighed 734g and spent a total of 105 days in hospital.
He was first diagnosed as having severe-profound hearing loss. This diagnosis change to severe and then went to moderate loss. He wears bilateral heaing aids - BUT we think he can hear more than they realise.
I think your site is brilliant.
I am a primary school teacher here in Sydney, NSW. I think you have created a great resource...
The girls are so darned cute! And I totally know what you mean by "Good Eating = Happy Mommy". Hallie took her first-ever 5 ounce bottle this morning and we're thrilled beyond belief. This whole preemie thing gives one a totally different perspective on eating disorders and weigh-ins, doesn't it?
You have a very inspiring blog here. I stumbled across it through a link from a neonatologist's blog. I too have a special needs child with CP and autism. You're doing a great job- the girls look wonderfully happy and well adjusted!
