Good on your mum!
And good on you for proving 'em all wrong. My mother's a polio survivor and she was warned that trying to have even one baby would be very risky, so having me end up relatively healthy was even more of a success for her. I'm glad I didn't have to prove my worth to the NICU staff with what you went through, though -- my mother dislikes doctors so much that I often thought I'd have had to be missing an arm for her to take me in for any medical treatment above routine shots!
