General Discussion

If you read my post on this below, yours is not the case of a child gestated in the body of a brain-dead mother. I don't mean to be crude about it or upset you with my comment but the prematurity is not the full measure of the potential issues. Your granddaughter had the advantage (despite her premature birth) of developing in the body of an otherwise healthy mother. That, physiologically, is night and day different from what this poor child has experienced in the Georgia case, and the prognosis--even if good for early survival in this latter case--remains less clear for full developmental health in childhood and beyond.

But, I join you in celebrating your healthy granddaughter.
