Days in the NICU
Gareth was born 12/3/01. During labor, Gareth’s cord prolapsed, so he was without oxygen for a short time. He was life flighted to the NICU in Danville and we stayed there until January 8, 2002. While in the hospital, Gareth underwent surgeries to place a g-tube for eating and a trach to help manage his drool/secretions. Because of Gareth’s birth trauma, he has developmental delays in all areas. He started receiving services to help make progress in all of these areas shortly after arriving home. <%popup(20030329-first days.jpg|640|480|First Days)%> | <%popup(20030329-bundle.jpg|640|480|Cute bundle)%> | <%popup(20030329-awake.jpg|640|480|Eyes Open! )%> | <%popup(20030329-first xmas.jpg|640|480|First Christmas)%> | <%popup(20030329-Daddy and Gareth.jpg|640|480|Daddy and Gareth)%> | <%popup(20030329-1st day Home!.jpg|640|480|First Day Home)%>
