To be clear, I do not know the family. I merely stumbled upon the story, and it was uplifting and I wanted to share it. ---

My cousin was 1.5 lbs at birth. Multiple surgeries. Nobody knew if he was going to live or die. Didn’t take long for him to become a tall, hyperactive kid. He is now in his 20s, but he is having serious vision problems because his parents didn’t get his eyes checked regularly. By serious I mean potential blindness. I congratulate these parents but i hope they are aware of the lifetime health issues associated with very very premature births. It’s incredible what medical science can do though, isn’t it? ---
