I'd certainly make sure you have every single thing documented in his IEP. Even things that seem common sense or trivial regarding your sons care. My little brother has pretty severe CP and has always been wheelchair bound. The school system (in a pretty good parish, academically speaking) was absolutely terrible with dealing with his needs - from physical needs to testing accommodations. My step mom and dad fought the school system tooth and nail and even had a lawyer present at several IEP meetings. I really hope you don't have to deal with any of that - but just make sure you clearly specify and cover any accommodations your son may need. My bro is now completely home schooled because the fight just wasn't worth it. He was only in school a few days a week for half days, mainly for socialization.

Edited: Sounds like y'all have the IEP stuff covered. Just make sure he has different professionals handling his care that you personally trust. With my brother, he started developing these rashes on his legs and lower back. We found out from one of the paras that his aid never changed him and he would sit in the same dirty diaper the entire time he was at school.. she only changed him once a day, right before my step mom picked up him

That's where we're headed. He isn't well enough to attend more often than not. But, right now I'm not in a position financially to quit my job to homeschool him. I can't wait for that day. I'm so tired of fighting. The irony is that we moved here in August for a better opportunity.

Also, you are allowed by law to call a meeting to discuss and amend his IEP at any time.
