That was a very good story. It is stories like these that makes us realize all of the things in life that we take for granted sometimes. The things this kid is accomplishing considering the conditions he is under is absolutely unbelievable and outstanding.

WOW, that was a great read, very inspirational. My boys spent one month in the NICU and were two months early. I was scared to death the entire time, I can't imagine how his parents felt during that time. Keep fighting buddy, don't let anyone ever tell you, "you can't."

Best of luck to this guy.
