Less than 57% of low-birth weight pre-term infants (below 1000 grams) (Jonna was 801 grams), survive.
Of those who do not survive, 91% live less than 2 weeks
Many survivors have neurological defects, cerebral palsy, or other learning disabilities.
Many infants on a respirator suffer from Retinal issues that cause blindness.
Immature systems such as the lung and digestion are not yet prepared to act outside of the womb.
Chronic Lung disease appears in 30% of low birth weight infants.
Only about 1/3 of low birth weight infants have a normal IQ by age 2.
Girls tend to be unusually strong.
