Yay me. (I was a preemie a long time ago.)

I was an under five pound preemie in 1957. After three months in the hospital and of not gaining even a half ounce of weight I was sent home to die. (Failure to thrive diagnosis).
Despite this I did survive, although I was a very sickly child and very small for my age until I turned 16. I do still have a very low resistance to illness and am underweight.
But my older sister that was under two pounds and three months premature in 1955 was considered a stillbirth and was discarded, then resuscitated. She’s still alive but with quite severe handicaps.
