[quote=Anonymous]My 34-weeker is now a happy, healthy, and very tall 8-year-old. Our NICU (Georgetown) set up all our early appointments for us so all we had to do was keep them and follow the advice of the developmental pediatricians and other specialists. Check with your NICU about those services after discharge. On their recommendation, we had our baby evaluated by DC's early intervention program. They recommended and arranged for PT and OT for our baby and by the time she was 9 months old, they determined she had graduated and no longer needed their services. Our last scheduled appointment with the developmental pediatrician was when she was a little over 2-years-old and they declared her completely caught up to her peers with no lasting developmental delays based on her early birth. Premies look so small and frail but they are amazing! Before you know it, you'll have a rambunctious toddler on your hands![/quote]
