[Update - DD's baby born April 12, 2013 - 2 lb.]

Insurance companies these days let parents keep their married children on the policy until age 26. Not the baby though. Or spouse.
 
Congratulations on your beautiful grandson! And glad to hear his mom is doing much better.

I would check it out as each policy is different and based on my experience with insurance claims, they will do anything to not pay. Our policy for sure does not allow it (and ours is an international company).
 
AKE, there is now a federal mandate for all USA policies. Kids until 26 years old--even if they are married.
 
thoughts, prayers and good wishes coming your way..
 
DD was released today and has happily gone home with her new husband. Grandbaby doing well so far, moving, crying, Responding to touch, holding dd's finger, even pooping, the clever little guy LOL. DD and SIL will drive to the NICU almost every day, ( it's more than an hour away) and we'll go a few x a week.

Young adults remain on their parents' policy till age 26, regardless of marital status, school status, work status, etc...the exception is if they can get comparable coverage at their job. Our insurance excludes routine maternity benefits for pregnant dependent daughters, but covers complications. Not tht i would have wanted a complication, but preeclampsia is covered. Preemie NICU babies are covered via medical assistance.

It's so good to Hear of others' family members who were preemies and are doing ok. It helps me stay optimistic. Thanks!
 
That is wonderful news! :clap::clap::clap:
 
WARNING - I don't want to hear one word about adult children on their parent's insurance, or babies on medical assistance from any of you sour pusses...
 
PJ,

So happy to hear the continued good news!

One of my sisters was a preemie, born at 28 weeks clear back in '55 and she's still hangin' in there and in touch with me almost every day. Given today's medical advancements, I am sure your new grandson will be fine.
 
Here's another good preemie story...... the twins next door to me, born 6 weeks early, seven years ago, were outside today doing cartwheels and tormenting their little brother.

Oh.... the places you'll go................

PJ, my sister was born 2 months early back in the late 60's. Doing fine in her mid 40's right now, no real health problems. Well she has a wonky thyroid, but the more I talk to people I am amazed at how many people have this problem or have had thyroid cancer.

Glad to see your daughter was able to "break out" of the hospital, and will keep your grandson in our prayers.
 
PJ,
Thanks for sharing the wonderful news about your daughter and her new family! New husband & new baby!! I'm so glad to hear she was released and can move to the new phase of this journey.

It is touching to hear of the many premies who are doing so well later in life. I'm sure you'll have some ups & downs, but it sounds like he has great medical care and family support. New little grandson is a lucky guy to have so many who love him.

Congrats on this new blessing in your life! We wish you the best in the journey ahead!
 
PJ,
Thanks for the update. Good news all around.
 
And you can add my little preemie to your list of happy stories! Born in 1974,and a NICU "grad", he is now a vice president of Kaiser Permanente in Georgia. We would never have guessed that this would be possible. Best to you and your new grandson!
 
PJ: Have been following your posts. Glad to hear that daughter was well enough to be released and that grandbaby is doing better. We have triplets in our family that were preemies and are now in college! Hang in there Grandma - I know it doesn't seem like it now, but before long, you'll be spending lots of quality time with your grandson.

Totally agree. :D
 
Katy and Josh have a lot going on, but it seems both families are providing a great support network.

Now, start trying on your new Tee-shirt and cap, Grandma!
 
The day you get to hold that sweet baby will be one of the best things you have ever experienced!

My premie turned 30 on April 7th. She was born at twenty-five weeks, weighing 1lb.9 ozs.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
 
Like so many here, I have read all your posts over the years, thanks for sharing your stories with us.
So happy to hear things are going well and continued happiness to all. You deserve it.
 
What a happy time - I do hope your are spoiling this grandson. Of course, it will under the guise of giving Josh and Katy some time to be newlyweds. :D

And take lots of pictures ... they grow so fast!
