You are going through what I went through with my boy at 9 days old. He is now 3 and doing really well. What city are you in? We live in Atlanta. A bit of advice I have is just this: Make sure he gets his meds when directed, take him to his endo appointments , call your endo when he get sick...vomitting not spit up from a bottle. Also, make sure that your ped. gives you plenty of referrals to your endo, b/c they may not see you w/o a referral even when it is a critical matter. They can be pretty harsh about referrals b/c most of the situations they deal with are important and critical. Your baby will be fine. You have the same exact questions I had. Also, sports. They can play any sports they want to. My son is 3, and is really popular in his preschool and a total jock. My email is below. Please feel free to email me back.Leslie
