The day I was born things weren't going so good.
The doctor's took me away right when I was born Let me explain why. When a baby is born as premature as I was their lungs aren't developed yet so I couldn't breath on my own.
The doctors then took me in a different room to do a procedure they call intubate which means they put a tube down my thoat and hooked me up to a oscillator The oscillator did all the breathing for me.
I would end up staying on the oscillator for six weeks.
Then they started doing alot of tests on me one of the tests was a head scan The scan turn up some very bad news during delivery I had a grade 4 brain bleed The severity of a brain bleed is graded from a grade 1 which is the mildest to a grade 4 which is the worst.
The prognosis wasn't to good Dr. Reece, the neonatologist,gave my parents some bad news He said that I probibly wouldn't make it through the day. And even if I did there was a good chance I would have severe mental and physical problems.
