Conception to birth

My first brother was born early and the doctors didn't know what to do for him. He passed away after several days I the NICU.  Because of him, I live.  Genetic testing prepared the physicians for what to expect when my mom started once again to have polyamniohydrosis.   I am one year old and get tube feed only at night now.  Mom still administer medication throughout the day.  I am below the 10th percentile in growth and weight.  I can sit up for awhile but not pull myself up to a sitting position and it will be a long time until I walk.
