    both my kids were preemies, but my son was a micro preemie (born at 24 weeks gestation, weight 1lbs 7 ounces) he had chronic lung too, but they usaully grow out of it by two ( at which time the actual and corrected age should align) the big concern is colds and other respiratory illnesses. This child will get a lot, and they will last longer and they will likely get croup a few times as a toddler too (my son did too) however, this child will likely have got the RSV shots during their first winter home, so that should not be a fear. I am curious what this child needs that others dont, perhaps an inhaler still. Just keep in mind that f you take on a preemie, to always consider the corrected age over the actual. so my son was really only 9 months when he turned a year, but he had so many issues at birth, that even at 9 months, he was delayed. They only other warning, a very early preemie will (should) have a ton of appt with therapists, and doctors, as well as more sick days, so if you dont get paid for sick days of days off, you might want to make a special contract note for this family.

    I just wanted to add, vaccinations for preemies are typically done at their actual age, so as long as this family does vaccinations, that should not be an issue either
