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
