I'll pray. Sounds like she's going good!

A while back, they figured out how to make an artificial surfactant that they could give preemies and it would keep their lungs inflated. The surfactant isn't naturally produced until the final weeks before birth and with preemies, it would be absent and the lungs would collapse and stick to it's self. Once they got the artificial surfactant, preemies had a real fighting chance.

How much does she weigh?

I truly enjoyed the pics of your guys and you, with the helicopter people, 2J. It is a very nice thing, that you made happen.

Oh, I forgot that. She weighs 1 lb. 6 oz. and is 12" long. Sounds like she just fits in Matt's hand. I know they are just so worried. I'm going to put her on our Parish Prayer list this week, too.

I'm sure they've done that lung treatment. It is amazing what they can do for preemies nowadays!
