I am a Registered Nurse and former licensed day care provider. One of my children was born with a life-threatening congenital defect. He required full time nursing care, which I provided for him in my home, for three years. His medical problems created developmental delays which were addressed and later resolved. During the next 17 years he underwent multiple surgeries to correct his defect, and success was finally achieved at age 19. He was also diagnosed with ADHD, executive functioning deficit and anxiety. After receiving a variety of therapies and developing skills to manage his challenges, he is now an active and successful college student.
