She could tell he was not in good shape and sent him to go to the ER to get an x-ray.

It was so covered in fluid that Al got a ride in an ambulance. Some of the same crew from Flights for Life that had transported him the night he was born took him to the main Children's hospital that day, where he was admitted...
