I Wonder About OctoMom's Kids

When you have that many children in utero, the weight of them fools the uterus into thinking that you're full term for a single child. Not that a uterus is a thinking entity, but you catch my drift. I do have my opinions about this attention seeking mom, but for the children's sake, being born prematurely under such situations, such as a crowded womb, is not the healthiest of situations for an infant. The mildest of which is retinopathy of prematurity. I wonder which of those that remained in the hospital longest has ROP if any. I wonder which child has cerebral palsy. According to the news, the last of the children who were hospitalized are now home.

There's a web site! Really!

EYE Facts Sheet for ROP

Some doctors may have this sheet in their offices but here is where they order them.
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disease that occurs in a small percentage of premature babies. My preschool class was of all preemies ages three to six with ROP and other complications due to premature birth. A parent may also be able to order this fact sheet and hand them out to teachers and specialists at the child's school. They are published by

American Academy of Ophthalmology

I may see if I can order them to use in my situation. Hmmm.
