Welcome to the L’il Aussie Prems December 2010 Newsletter.
What an amazing year we have all had! So many of our precious prems have grown up & will be starting their first day of school or pre-school in 2011 & so many more have reached many new milestones, all of which are celebrated!
It has been a big year for L’il Aussie Prems with us reaching a huge milestone of 1,500 registered members on the forum. We have many new introduction posts so if you haven’t introduced yourself don’t forget to pop in and say hello. The forum is such a wonderful community for families not only of premature babies but also for toddlers & school aged children. All our babies do grow up so it is wonderful to see so much support not only towards new families of prems but also to the many who are moving forward in leaps & bounds. Quite a few of our ex prems have been diagnosed with special needs and attend therapy services monthly and even weekly. The forum has become an amazing support for the many families on this path & many of us understand the daily struggles. Please feel free to ask questions &/or share advice with us. We all support each other!
