I just gave birth way too early at 26 weeks any positive premie stories?

baby boy measured 24 weeks he is 1.9bs.. His lungs are very under developed.  I had preeclamsia and had to have an emergency c section to save my little boys life.. I'm very sad. I have faith he's a fighter. Any positive  stories with babies born early?
