So here is the blog post I wrote many weeks ago, but never posted...
After Field was born and we were discharged from the NICU, we were told to follow-up with a local developmental pediatrician. I was in such a fog at the time and remember asking the nurse over and over again what a developmental pediatrician was and why we would need to see one. "Honey, a lot of babies that are in the NICU end up with developmental delay and so we recommend seeing a doctor that specializes in developmental milestones and will track their progress over time," replied the nurse.
We have seen the developmental pediatrician every 5-6 months for the past year and a half and I am more than happy to report that Field has officially been discharged from their care. He is on or above level in every single developmental area. We have never been concerned about his developmental progress, but it is so nice to have a professional that specializes in this kind of thing look you straight in the eyes and say, "Mom, he is VERY smart."
Go Field Go!
