Best of luck. Our guy is now 10 and doing great. No lingering effects. He is one of the tallest in his grade and he didn't make the height and weight chart until his 3rd birthday when he finally hit 5%.

We thought we had it bad until the brought a new baby into the NICU. The kid was in rough shape but the mom had a stoke during/before child birth. Mom was at UW Hospital in Madison. The kid was in Waukesha. The dad would get up and go to see his son, go to work, drive to Madison to be with his wife, drive back to Waukesha to see his son and then go home at midnight.
This is what I deem perspective, or a Reality Check.
