When my mom was in labor, doctors thought I might be tangled in the umbilical cord because my heart rate would plummet and then stabilize.
I was delivered by emergency C-section, and doctors soon realized that I had congenital heart defects.
Still, I thought I'd adjusted well — until my heart stopped on the field.
Even when I started breathing on my own, doctors thought I might need to go to a nursing home rather than a rehab facility because I was still so frail.
AdvertisementTIRR Memorial Hermann in Houston was the only in-patient rehab hospital that would take me because my needs were so intensive.
