I may have mentioned my oldest grandson here. He was born at 25 weeks, about the absolute limit a child can survive outside the womb. He spent 8 months in the NICCU. When discussing his odds at birth the doctors mentioned the good possibilities of him being severely disabled in numerous ways.
As it turns out he is intelligent and personable with some fairly minor difficulties with learning. His biggest result of his early birth is that he is legally blind probably. He can see well enough to do many things including playing basketball and of course computer games.
He has struggled a bit finding his niche but yesterday he found that he has some ability in track. I have included a picture of him kicking it to the finish in the 400, fourth in his grade level and provided an excellent start, putting his team in the lead in the 4 x 400 relay.
He is pretty pleased and I am so happy for him. He's a really great kid! He's in the red shirt.
