Some pretty grim news in here. Was going to post some piddling annoyance. I'll save it. Chin up, iGents.

That's fantastic!

For what it's worth, some friends of mine had a baby that small right around Christmas of 2011, and he's thriving. Things were really rough for them for a number of months, and I'm pretty sure he's got some lingering health issues they have to manage, but he's really doing well. I hope your friends experience similar success.

+1. The things that were pissing me off now seem so trivial that I'm embarrassed.

GF, I'm really sorry to hear this and I sincerely hope that things get better for your sister and your family.
SH, glad to hear positive news, and hope to hear more soon.

The last two weeks have been absolute hell for me and my family... I still can't believe this is real life. I keep expecting to wake up from this nightmare.

I hesitate even writing what I'm about to write.. but I guess I need to get this off my chest.

My sister experienced an acute psychotic episode two weeks back and while all signs initially pointed towards her episode being a brief one caused by stress (i.e., she would recover completely and never experience one again), it's starting to look like this may be the onset of schizophrenia for her.

She attempted suicide on Monday because she couldn't handle all the voices in her head anymore.

I never cried so much in my entire life. I'm tearing up right now thinking about it.

Right now she's in psychiatric care and it looks like a different combo of meds may be helping her symptoms, so we're hopeful that she may actually make a full recovery.. but we shall see.

I worry for her. I worry for my parents.

I'm just numb. When people asked me how my weekend was yesterday, I wanted to punch them in the face. I had to pretend to be happy for their stupid ******* ****** little trips they went on. Me? I was in the ER with my parents.

The only other person I told was my best friend and even he is being a ****** source of support. Lame, half-assed texts. I was there for that ****** when he was going through **** and this is all he can give me? **** him. Even now, he just texted me on what he should do about this stupid ***** whose number he got over the weekend, despite the fact that he already has a GF. Seriously? I'm starting to re-evaluate my friendship with him.

**** him.

**** the world.

**** everything.


Hang in there, GF. Best wishes for all concerned.

I have a friend who was born pre-mature and wasn't expected to make it. He just turned 30 so there is always hope.



Better news to report this morning. Supposedly the baby is breathing on its own, which I hear is a really good sign. It's obviously a delicate little thing, but there's much more optimism about its chances. The slightly depressing thing is that people are commenting on the mother's facebook status with really casual and humorous congratulations, as if they don't quite understand the significance of an extremely early birth.


I was born 6 weeks early ~30 years ago and it worked out fine. NICU technology is way better than it was back then too, so there's probably a good chance. I was pretty big for being 6 weeks early though, helped my chances for back then.

Very glad to hear. I've googled a bit and it says that chances of a "full recovery" nowadays are quite good if the baby weighs >2.2lbs and was born after the 28th week.
