premature babies - how many?

premature babies - how many?

I had identical twin boys 11 weeks early last year. Suffered TTTS and only the biggest survived, with brain damage. However, he's a little fighter, and seems to only suffer with developmental delay. It was a hard experience. I do wonder how i lived through it looking back, but when you're there, you just take it day to day knowing each one could be your last.

The staff and facilities at the hospital were amazing. I can't thank them enough,

Holidays also on this date Saturday, March 1, 2025...
