They didn't have any oxygen in the room, but by the time they got some I had started breathing on my own. The doctors told my parents that I would probably have brain damage and my right arm would be paralyzed. My mom said my arm was ok within 2 weeks and I could talk in complete sentences by the time I was a year old. Fucking doctors.

Glad you survived. Make sure you don't use doctors again though - they nearly killed you and probably on purpose.
