Preemies and Brain Bleeds?

My daughter gave birth on January 16th at 23 weeks gestation to premie twin girls. They are both still in the NICU and will probably be there until May or later. Both of them have been diagnosed with Grade 3 brain bleeds. I know that this can lead to Cerebral Palsy and other complications, but I am wondering if anyone out there has ever had a premature baby that had a Grade 3 bleed but had NO problems from it. I am just wondering and hoping for a miracle.

    it incredibly isn't any longer sparkling to me whether the toddler weighs a million.5 pounds (implying that he's below 28 weeks gestation) or a million.5 kilograms (implying that he's probable had an prolonged gestational era). That advice is unquestionably significant simply by fact the extra untimely an toddler, the extra effective the prospect that she or he would be able to no longer proceed to exist and the extra effective the prospect of long-term problems. it incredibly isn't any longer a linear phenomenon, even though, nor do the documents that describe the full inhabitants of little ones make it easier to recognize precisely what is going to ensue with one person. Even in little ones born at 26 weeks gestation, the survival fee (measured to a million year of age) is over 80 %. The trouble fee could be very intense and the bleeding in his recommendations (intraventricular hemorrhage or different?) would effect the two his probabilities of survival and the prospect that he would be completely injured. you certainly ought to take a seat with the neonatologist and talk precisely what's occurring with the toddler and what could be expected, what could ensue, what has occurred, and the place she or he expects issues to pass.

    It says there that although the grade 3 brain bleeds can cause perm damage it doesn't -always- happen so there is a chance they will be okay.
