That's what I think.

My twin daughters almost died when they were infants. However, they were fighting a virus. One of them was on a ventilator for a week.

The other one was on a ventilator for a whole month. At one point, they thought she might need to go on a heart and lung machine.

They survived and are 8 years old. One of them has brain damage caused from the doctor's over correcting her sodium level. She was on the ventilator a week. She's actually doing well considering. She just has speech problems.

The one that was on the vent for a month is doing great. We're pretty sure she is gifted, and she will go far in life.

Of course, we also had insurance that paid for the hospital bills.
