[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would also get him evaluation by Infants and Toddlers (depending on where you live it could be called Early Intervention). It's a free service that evaluates young children - birth through 3. Every state has it. They evaluate all areas of development and will give you a general synopsis of where your nephew is. [/quote] Thank you, I live in PG County, Maryland. I will look into this. I really can't imagine my life without him it in. I've done some serious thinking about this and come to the conclusion that I'm "all in", even if he does have problems later. Financially, it will be rough to pay for daycare but I will figure something out. I really wish my sis had life insurance, it would have made things much easier. Get life insurance people!!! I have life insurance on myself, but I'm going to call to increase the amount now, after going through this. My sis left behind a lot of debt.

You can make an appointment with your local SS office.[/quote]
