Ezekiel's Story

The Taylors shared their baby story, now go tell yours by visiting www.marchofdimes.com/everybaby

Following the premature birth of his son Zeek, Corey Taylor spent frightening days watching both his wife and their tiny baby fight for their lives. Betty had developed complications 26 weeks into her pregnancy. In danger of heart failure and coma, she had an emergency c-section. Zeek was born weighing just 1 pound 14 ounces and spent the first 103 days of his life in neonatal intenstive care. He was given surfactant therapy to help his immature lungs inflate and went on to fight (and win) countless medical battles. Today, Zeek is an artistic 8 year old who loves music, cooking, making greeting cards, and performing with a drum line. As the 2007 National Ambassador, Zeek and his family will travel the country to share their story, raising awareness of the seriousness of premature birth.

Thank you for posting little Ezekiel's story. I gave birth to a premie boy a month and a half ago. He was born at 24 weeks gestation and weighed 1 pound 14 ounces. God is wonderful. Ezekiel is beautiful inside out. God has really put amazing spirits inside of premies. God bless your family.

What an awesome miracle Zeke is. God let him live for a reason. He is beautiful and you both should be proud of the wonderful job your doing raising him.

I know I will never forget our days in the NICU.
