Hi. I am an RN at Texas Children's Hospital. I do not do patient care any more, but in my distant past, I worked with sick infants. I can tell you that MANY positive management strategies have been developed since I was there and many of the smallest babies can have a good outcome. Of course, there are no guarantees and you never know which wee one will do well and which will not. I feel the MOST important issue for you is to have this baby at or near a hospital well equipped to to handle premature infants. We do not deliver where I work, but have trained teams to transport these babies to our center. TCH is one of the largest Neonatal units around. If there is enough time, the neonatal transport team can be in the delivery room to handle any special care required by your baby. I wish you the best and pray that all is well. Cyndee
