At 0730 Waterboy called mom to say that R is back at LL. So far so good I think, aside from the fact that she is back in the hospital. Is is possible for a baby to survive at 6 months?

Yes, six months is possible. My little boy arrived at seven months weighing in a 2 lb 10 oz. He spent his first seven weeks in the hospital, most of the time in an Isolet, the very contraption his Dad worked on perfecting in college. He is a happy, healthy and well over 200 lb now.

Depends on the quality of neonatal intensive care at that hospital...It happens every day here at our local neonate unit (one of the best in the country) to kids born much earlier than that. Best of luck to the little one and prayers to the family.

I think the cut off point is around 24 weeks. If she's due in mid-November she's probably at about 28 weeks, so there's a really good chance for her baby. Every single day inside makes a difference though. :)
