My friend's grandson, the micro-preemie born at something like 23 weeks, is still doing pretty well for a micro-preemie. His weight gain stalled, but now he's begun to gain again. Although he's still tiny, not quite 2 pounds, we try to remember that he wasn't due to be born until December. His lung function has been surprisingly good from the start.

Good. Lung development is critical.
Good news!
We continue to pull for the little guy.
He was born on Sept. 9, so he's made it for six weeks without any of the usual horrors, certainly no surgery. It has been so far a much smoother path than everyone feared: he was not genuinely expected to draw his first breath.
