I’m a parent of a former 24 week micropreemie. He’s 20 months old now and his only complication is a feeding tube that he will not need eventually and slight developmental delays. Yes, the probability for disability is high with a micropreemie, but it is not definite. We were given a choice the night I went into labor whether or not we wanted them to intervene for our son. Trust me, nothing in your life prepares you for that conversation. It is a nightmare that you never expect. You do not know what choice you would make unless that becomes your reality. I am thankful for modern medicine. My son is walking and learning how to talk. Modern medicine has given families like ours an unimaginable gift.

If you’re looking for great pizza Northeast PA ( Scranton/Old Forge) has a ton of places. I wouldn’t classify many of them as ‘nice’ restaurants, but many are delicious.

We really do, and it’s still relatively safe around here and a low cost of living. I’m happy to raise my family in this area.

I’m from the Scranton area and it was nice to read something positive. Thanks for sharing :)

Lived in the Scranton area my entire life, no one here thinks Lancaster is high class. Like, why would we even think that?

I’m from the Scranton area, definitely identify with the Northeast, when I think of Lancaster I think of farms and the Amish.
