My daughter is one of a set of twins, I had a rough pregnancy but at 33 weeks 4 days my girls were born, a little on the small side. Her sister Alison only needed a nasal cannula for oxygen, Sierra needed much more she went through endless surgeries and needed more assistance with breathing and feeding tubes, etc. Once they came home in 2001 I was thrilled, they were adorable lovely babies, doing everything right. Once they turned 2 I noticed that Sierra wasnt doing the same things Alison was, she wasnt meeting those milestones that her twin sister was. I focused my attention on Early Intervention and it was a godsend, she's been getting regular education and now she is in a special needs classroom focusing on her skills, she has always been a brilliant girl, at the age of 3 she knew all her shapes, colors and could could to ten in both English and Spanish. I am so thankful every day that I get to learn so much from my beautiful daughter.
