Here's a link to tonight's NBC Nightly News story on the morbidity/mortality study results of preemies who are now children and adolescents. I wish it was longer, but I was glad someone told me about it.

I wish they would have focused more on the long term problems that many micro preemies have. CLD, ROP, the sensory issues, feeding issues.

They aren't just little babies that are OK once they go home.

This was an interesting story I found on MSNBC.com earlier today...try to find the link for the accompanying video (I hope it's not the same?!?!)....
