From the Paper:

"Born five weeks premature, I came home from the hospital, supposedly healthy. A few days later, my mother noticed that I had turned a grayish-blue, (after five miscarriages, she feared the worst) and rushed me to the emergency room. After hours of MRI's, cat scans, and spinal taps, I was finally diagnosed with a severe case of sleep apnea. At times, I would terminate all respiratory functions, cutting off oxygen to my brain and other vital organs. I imagine, then as now, I was too entranced in thought to worry about so menial a task as breathing. Apparently, this negligence almost killed me. The doctors said that even if I somehow survived the night, I would become a vegetable, confined to a wheelchair and a life of hardship. Apparently, the predictions of an expert are no match for the power of prayer."
