Born early · Viktorious

Born at week 31+5, weighing 1165 g.
Around four weeks in the incubator (kuvös), fed through a tube (sond).
During pregnancy, scans raised fears of trisomy 18 or a serious heart defect; further tests in Uppsala found nothing definitive.
Four operations and several examinations under general anaesthesia before age three.
Some mild delays early on – by age three all skills were in the normal range.
