Lincoln was born with a rare diaphragm defect known as right-sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) on May 26th, 2011. We were told that Lincoln had little more than 50% chance of survival. Linc fought hard for his life in the beginning, coming very close to losing his life. After 83 days in the NICU, Lincoln came home to us. He remains strong and stubborn, and is now a happy, healthy one year old. This blog documents his life.

First Steps Meeting
The visit from Missouri First Steps coordinators this morning went well. Based on my main concerned for Lincoln, self-calming and eating, his main therapist will be occupational. He will also receive support from physical therapy and a nutritionist. His first appointments are not set up yet, but we are going to start with OT twice per month and PT and Nutrition once per month. Lincoln will be re-evaluated every six months until age three, when he graduated from the program. Of course, I can change anything from frequency of visits to removing Linc from the program at any time if I feel the need. So far I am very happy with the people and services of MO First Steps and hopefully they will be helpful to Lincoln's development.
