My entrance into the world

Our original due date was January 20 and we were born in October. My twin sister and I were born 3months early. I was 2 lbs and 1oz while Twin was 1 lbs and 2 oz. We were both in the NICU for 3months. During this time my leads got infected, my lungs collapsed. As we neared 6months my sister begin sitting up on her own and I did not. This was the first of many clues that my mom told my doctors about before I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. I have had around 8 pairs of AFO’s around 9 sets of casts 2 major surgeries and thousands of hours of PT and OT. I received Early Intervention services and when to a special needs preschool before going main stream with assistance. During all of this I have been on an IFSP or an IEP respectively.
