I need, respectfully ask for, any of you that pray regularly to include my Daughter, Son in law and their baby. He was born 2 weeks ago, 6 weeks premature, and is still in the NICU. Overall, my grandson is fine but still having dips in O2 level or heart rate. Each time, they extend his stay 5 more days. It's really starting to beat them down and I'm praying they have the strength to withstand this and my grandson has the strength to overcome. My knees are worn out, I need help!

I worked for a NICU for 38 years. What your grandchild is going through is pretty typical for a premature baby. In my experience, most babies were discharged home before the due date, generally by 37-39 weeks gestational age (1-3 weeks prior to the due date). Prayers that your grand baby does well.
Thank you for this. Very helpful to have that knowledge going forward. He is doing great, I got a picture this morning of him asleep on his mother's chest. So peaceful.
