Great news and best wishes. Marcel if this make's you feel any better, My son was born @1 lb 9 oz. He was so small he didnt even look real. He came home on a heart monitor and they told us that he might end up being smaller than average and might be a slow learner.
Well here we are 14 years later and he is average size, He has been on the honor roll since he started school and was just picked as one of three kids in the state to go to the whitehouse and meet all the politcian's "crooks" and learn about politics.
I hope this helps to here this because right now you must be on the edge.I know I was but just hang in there because he will be fine and driving that Vette before you know it.
If you ever need to talk to someone about it let me know. My wife remembers everything and might be able to help you out. There are alot of programs in Massachusets that you can have him in that will realy help him.

I was a premie also.. just over 3lbs and in the 50's (when I was born) kids that were premies were often written off.

I'm 6'2 and 250lbs and "reasonably" intellegent, and I really made up for lost ground!

God bless you and your wife and the little fighter you now have!!!

My son was also 5 weeks premature. 4lbs 3oz, went down to 3lbs 11oz. He was in the hospital for 2 weeks before we could take him home. He is 6 and doing great and will definitly be taller than me. Probably smarter by time he's 7.
