Well our life has taken a new road again. LOL

We accepted a 4 month old Foster Son yesterday at about 7 pm

He was born at 29 weeks and has been in and out of hospitals. He also has a twin sister that is still in hospital.

He weighs now at about 8 lbs. My kids and Gkids were all about 8+ when they were born . LOL

Info ..

Any good websites on Preemie MD info??: Wife was wanting some more info.

Billy, I have no particular info, but applaud you and your wife =D>

for taking this child in, given the medical history.

Your family and this child will be in our prayers.

10 years ago this week, our twin grandsons were born @ 28 weeks.

I am not familiar with any particular websites, but Brenda and Clarissa (our daughter) are a wealth of information.

E-mail us any questions and they'll be glad to help out.

Billy, Your local pediatrician is the best resource. As you know we're foster parents as well. We have 7 :shock:

We also have an infant that was premature. He came to us at 13 days old weighing only 4 lbs 10 oz. The end of his heal was as wide as my pinky finger! He was born with methadone and bizaza...something in his blood stream. We still deal with minor DT's...but they are quickly subsiding.

There are also outside agencies if you need help. They will come in and teach you the what do's and what don'ts.

I'm proud to report that Cameron is now 3 months old and about 12 lbs.
