Judah is doing WAY BETTER than expected at this point after his surgery. He needs very little vent support and his nurse is amazed at his progress!

His birth weight was 1 lb 11 oz. He now weighs 2 lbs and 0.8 oz!! He is growing!!!

Oh my goodness, he was a TINY one! Continued prayers for little Judah and his mommy and daddy. I am so glad to hear that he is doing so well! God is GOOD! I would love to see the website they have, I assume they have photos of him?

This is great news and for continued progress. Amazing care is available these days.

Our next door neighbours had a preemie. She was around 20 weeks when born and was smaller than her fathers hand. She was born in Feb and her due date was in Jul. Today she is a perfectly healthly 8 or 9 year old.

My niece was born at 22 weeks. She weighed 2lbs 2oz. Her parents happened to be 6 hours away in north Louisiana (we live outside of NO) when her mom went into labor. She was kept in a hospital there for two weeks and then flown to Children's hospital in NO where she stayed for a couple of months. We were lucky. She had no real problems other than being tiny. It was really scary to hold her because you could not feel her in your arms. She is now 7 years old and one of the smartest kids I know. The dr had said to expect her to be slower than a normal baby in development but the only thing that she did later than normal was walk. I think she was actually saying a word or two before walking. I will keep praying for little Judah and his family. He sounds like a little fighter.

A good friend of mine had both of her kids premature. She was barely into her third trimester when the youngest one came out. But both kids are healthy, and as far as I know, happy. The youngest is in school now.

So keep happy thoughts, and know that many kids get through the rough times and go on to live normal lives.

But for now....

Thanks for all the prayers! God is so good! Judah remains on low vent settings and continues to amaze his doctors and nurses. Thanks to my Intercot family for all the prayers for this little guy. I know they make a difference!

Judah is off the vent!! He now receives a little oxygen through a Sipap. Much, much better!! Thanks for the prayers!!
