premature baby

I had my son at 27 weeks. He is now 3,months n still n hospital. As much as i try to stay strong. When it almost time for him to come home theres a set back. The say back now is he has asthma and he cant breath much on his own. Which also diagnosis him with chronic lung disease. I would like to no why if they can find nothing wrong. Why my baby can breath without cpap ventilation.

My son wad born at 27 weeks.  He was barley over 2 pounds. He was in nicu for 14 weeks. The doctors hold onto them till they are sure they can do eveything on their own including breathing.  He is now 7 years old with no health issues. Trust the doctors! Will keep your baby in my prayers.
