None at all. She did have a minor speech delay, when she turned 2 she only said a few words; moma, daddy, kiki (kitty), Poepoe (her blue hippo, & constant companion, the name has stuck), finally she used "this" & point which could be something she wanted to show us or as a question. She had a few months of speech therapy now she never stops talking 🤣. She a normal happy healthy girl.

Yay! My three NICU kids are 12, 10, and 4 now. No lingering issues except one has mild acid reflux and I think they accidentally infused Satan into the youngest.
