Prologue

"Prologue"

Twenty years ago around 7:00 pm in Puerto Rico a mother gave birth to a baby boy named Andres Guerrero. She was suppose to have twins, but the "twin vanishing syndrome" phenomenon occurred, where one of the embryos died while developing in the womb. An hour after being born, Andres was diagnosed with "Tracheosophageal fistula". This meant that his breathing pipe was connected to his eating pipe. After a week or so of complicated operations, Andres was fixed up successfully. Off to a rough start, a month went by until the doctors found out that his spine was missing half of a bone, causing his hip to be permanently tilted. Trying to avoid a risky operation in the spine that could leave him paralyzed, his parents decided to use a safer method of coping with the problem by purchasing a shoe lift which he wears in the inside of his right shoe to cancel the tilt of his hip and correcting his posture a bit, thus curing back pains. Afterwards the boy would wake up in the middle of the night barely breathing and rushed to the hospital several times. It turned out that he was also allergic to any kind of lactose (milk and cheese products). It would cause his esophagus to close up, making breathing very difficult. Andres was a very lucky kid who probably wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for his parents both being doctors. The mother and father never lost faith and tried their best to keep their first child alive no matter what. After those unfortunate set of events, the child was analyzed from head to toe. Nothing else was wrong with him, he was finally ready to start growing like a normal human being.
