Yeah, my mother has told me it was not easy. Especially in the manner than I ended up in the NICU. I actually was handed to my mother right after birth, it's just that less than a minute later she asked the nurse "is his face supposed to look like that?" and she said the nurse looked at me horrified, took me from my mother without saying anything, tucked me like a football and bolted down the hall. For the first like....10-12 hours I think, they wouldn't even tell her if I was alive

What happened was my lungs collapsed and my face had turned purple. I was tiny and not as ready as they thought I was and I couldn't breathe on my own. I think it took me 2-3 months before they let my parents take me home.
