[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear about doctors trying at all costs to save even the earliest-term premies and that this is a huge burden for the health care industry. I only know one personally. He is 4 now and suffers constantly from respiratory and GI issues and often requires hospitalization. [b]I feel so badly for this family and when i am with them, I withhold the  joy I experience with my typically developing child. [/b]I am wondering: Is there hope? Do these children ever get stronger and live normal healthy lives? Does anyone have experience with older children who were born extremely premature? Thank you sincerely - I would love to know.[/quote]

I want to say somethng about your terrible smug attitude.  Frankly, I am too appalled to put the words together.[/quote]

I'm also a little taken aback by this.  Why would you feel that they don't experience joy in their child?  I have a special needs child.  I have two other so-called normal children.  They all provide me with "equal" amounts of joy.

Why would you pretend to be something you're not when you are around your 'friend.'  Do you feel this is doing them a favor?  It's NOT.[/quote]
