Some very good comments above. Jack is “just fine” because you have seen to it that he is so. I hope the bad diagnosis never comes. But if it does, it better be ready for a hell of a fight.

*in my limited scope of the baby world( two much younger siblings, one of which did pass away as an infant, and my own son), i think the two writers above have comments are so accurate. maybe to be printed out and re-read during those ‘moments’.
*even if jack does, at some point, get a ‘bad’ diagnosis, i know that being the competent parents that you all are(if you feel it or not), you will be able to make things ‘just fine’.
*and to hear that jack is screeching, i take that as a good sign. any man that can verbalize, at any age, sounds pretty good to me.

I don’t get to see you enough and so I’m not able to tell you enough how much I admire you for everything you are putting into giving Jack all of the emotional and physical support he is getting. How do you do it? I can only imagine the worrying and wondering you guys do in the face of all of the facts and figures you’re confronted with on a day to day. Peeking into your life on a semi-regular basis I only see a happy, interactive, chubby, yummy little boy who is hitting some solid milestones with ease and parents who love him and seem to have it all together. I think it’s shockingly easy for people like me to forget all of the possibilities and concerns that shoot through your minds every day. That being said, I think that when people tell you that Jack is going to be fine it’s because they have a lot of faith in you even though it may seem impossible to have that faith in yourself most of the time. Fineness comes on a sliding scale and regardless of the bad diagnoses and obstacles Jack may or may not face, he will be fine because he has you.

I think all parents have to deal with a “bad diagnosis” at some point. Premie or not, every person is different, and every child is going to have something they must face in their life. That is just life; you have you done everything you could have to ensure Jack got the best life he could. The world is not perfect, although it would sure be nice to make it so for our babies, huh?
