Good Morning...FB...There is a reason we are all here... I was born a Micro Preemie in 1954 at 24 weeks and weighed only 2 lbs... The odds of my survival were slim...I am so happy to be alive each and every day and I will be 60 in September....Enjoy each day...we are all here for a reason..deb Nearly half a million infants are born prematurely in the United States each year – that is, about one in nine babies are born before 37 weeks of gestation...Less then 1% percent of these preemies, or approximately 29,000 infants born annually, fall into the very early, or micro-preemie range of 27 weeks or earlier. Globally, one million children die from the complications of prematurity, making it the leading cause of death in newborns and the second-leading cause of death in children under age 5, according to the World Health Organization.
