Re: Premature Birth Linked to Some Unexpected Later Problems

Remember that friend I told u guys who is very knowledgeable, creative and intelligent? He was born a premmie, 6 weeks premature b4 his due date. No health problems whatsoever, except he has allergies and has bad cases of sinus infections.

He is 38, 5'9", built like a gorilla. What else? He told me he spent some 100K on weed alone, so u can imagine how much he actually earns Oh and he has 2 kids, both very healthy as well. Very gregarious personality and extremely well-liked and sociable. He is literally the life of all parties. Unsociable? Hah! No way, not by a lonnnngggg shot

My nephew is also another premmie, born 4 weeks premature. Intelligent and quite a genius for his age (he is 10 now). Other than being susceptible to flu and colds, no other health problems. Gregarious too. He tells his other aunt... (my sister) "U don't have a life... I have a life... I play Halo 3" [Is this how kids identify themselves these days?] (btw my sister is a financial manager.) He has great grades in school as well, bilingual in both English and Chinese.

So I think the premature ppl or who have premmie kids, can take heart that they will be ok

One thing to note, I think the premmies r very dynamic personality ppl who r very action-orientated. That's why they were in such a hurry to get out of their moms to get into the world U get exhausted just hearing what they did everyday
