What a sweet baby. Prayers going out for her.

I like to tell parents of preemies that Sir Isaac Newton was born very prematurely, too, 360 years ago.

Have never been able to find out exactly how prematurely Newton was born. But it was said he was so tiny, he "could be fitted in a quart pot." (Check the size of a quart pot in your kitchen!)

I recall an old colleague from 30 years ago, or so and he was about 60-70 years old at the time. He was born prematurely; his Mom put him in a cigar box, and kept him warm on the wood cookstove's warmer plate.

He survived THAT!

Also know of two survivor girls born about 20 years ago, at the birth weight of 1.5 pounds. Both doing fine today.

What marvelous technology we have TODAY.

A prayer also sent up.
