- I heard on the news this week that a little girl named Sasha was born last
- spring in Florida at 22 weeks and 15 ounces (yes that's less than a pound,
- folks), and she just went home from the hospital this week perfectly healthy
- and happy, with no evidence whatsoever of any damage, much less brain
- damage, from her ordeal.
-
- I also heard from a friend whose nephew was born prematurely last fall
- that they have a new treatment for premie lungs as of only last October,
- so I would bet that that's how little Sasha made it!!
