started the special day pre-school at the age of three, no mamma (for

which he was very very sad for weeks) and a health aide/interpreter.

Prior to that though he had been at the Child Development Center from the

time he was discharged from the NICU and also the DHH Infant Program in our

area - which met once a week - but all of those were with Momma. )

Let me tell you - ambulatory (with a walker) and with a trach and g-tube had

the whole district pretty alarmed. A majority of the high medical

involvement kiddos are in wheelchairs...... and the trach/airway connection

also alarms them. had his trach for swallowing issues (prevention of

aspiration) - but many of the children our district was familiar with had

them for breathing issues - which is a whole different level of serious.
