When they took him over to the incubator thing, there were eight or nine nurses working on him, and I didn’t know what was going on. We didn’t hear anything. He wasn’t breathing and they kept saying he wasn’t breathing, so that’s where I was like, ‘Okay, this is near death,.

Kailyn kept on asking Elijah what was wrong. And in her podcast, she couldn’t understand why he wasn’t breaking down. Replying, he recounted his feelings:

The reason is when he came out, they said [breathing was problem and it] was hard to find. They took him over to the little baby stand thing and he was barely breathing and also had fluid in his lungs. I’m worried about him and you’re over here crying asking if he’s okay. And I’m like, ‘Yes, he’s fine.”

Clearly, Elijah did not want to upset the Teen Mom star who seemed stressed by the situation. Fortunately, the baby survived, and he gets to be a dedicated dad.
