I took my son to the docs yesterday and I'm not kidding there were three different specialists in there evaluating him. While the neonatologist and the nutritionist were asking me questions the occupational therapist was evaluating my son. I've been so worried about him being behind or showing signs that something is wrong but they all said that he looks great. what a relief. Being the parent of a preemie makes me very nervous!
I have 27 weeker baby boy and now is 11 months at his 6 month appointment I remember having the same feelings. All the doctors were in amazement when they seen him and said he was above average for a preemie. I was so worried then I was so proud. There little angel from above to appreciate life. Huh God bless
I remember having the feelings of worry and despair in the months after Arissa was born in terms of her development. The uncertainty of not knowing what her future holds in terms of her development was / is too much to bear for a person of my inpatient nature. She was born prematurely due to an infection passed on from me to her via the placenta and the doctors kept telling me that they don’t know what the effects this infection has had on her brain. We prepared ourselves for the worst.
Imagine our surprise when we were told that she’s caught up and surpassed her actual age in just about every aspect in terms of development !
These children are truly amazing and I doubt they will ever cease to surprise us.
Congratulations and all the best,
Sara
