>> it didn't look like a human being. he didn't look like a person. >> then these new parents did the thing all parents did. >> we held nathaniel for the first time. we held our son. then our life changed forever. >> tonight, elizabeth vargas on one family's inspiring journey. seemingly ripped straight out of a best-selling novel. >> you may have read the book "wonder." if you have, then you already know a little bit about me. >> the struggles and heartaches. >> so tired. i want it to be over. >> a brother's love. >> you get up there with your little fist and go, hey, leave my brother alone? >> i do that. >> the brave boy at the center of it all. >> sometimes if i'm having a good time i forget what i look like. >> this special edition of "nit l ""nightline" "wonder boy: a story of transformation," will be right back. michael: i'm thankful that

"wonder boy." >> it is nearly midnight on a frigid february friday in manhattan. nurses on the labor and delivery ward at st. luke's hospital are urging one of the speck ant mothers to keep trying. magda newman with husband russell has been in labor for hours. what was the doctor telling you why the labor was taking so long? >> well, it's the first delivery.
1:28 am
you know, you just got to push harder. >> they finally say, look, we got to get this kid out, he's showing some signs of distress. and then our life changed forever. >> tell me what you saw. >> it didn't look like a human being. >> it didn't look like a human? >> he didn't look like a person, it was that different. >> reporter: a crushing blow to a dream of parenthood that began just three years earlier when magda and russell newman married in 2002. magda became pregnant shortly after. were you excited? >> yeah, very excited. >> everything was healthy? >> yes. >> absolutely no blips on the radar screen? >> yes. >> reporter: but back in that hospital room, after nearly 17 hours of labor, when magda finally delivers, it is not a scene of happiness but of horror. >> i don't remember fainting.
1:29 am
but i certainly remember screaming. >> you were screaming so loud. >> "oh my lod, oh my god. >> i thought he was dead. i saw shock on people's faces. big eyes. what's going on here? what happened? i don't hear baby crying. no noise. >> nobody's telling you anything? >> nobody's telling me anything. what's going on? is he alive, what's going on? i want to see the baby. >> they wouldn't show you. >> they were scared to show me. >> i think they were scared at first. because he had no cheekbones. and no upper and lower eyelids. just completely disfigured. >> reporter: and even more terrifying, the baby is not breathing. magda is left alone on the delivery table while doctors frantically work to save her baby's life. >> while that was going on, a doctor called me out of the room to show me a textbook. i just remember it being an old black and white picture of a teenager with treacher collins.
1:30 am
i remember thinking, that's going to be my kid? >> reporter: treacher collins, an extremely rare genital facial standard. it affected 1 in 50,000 people. i can't imagine first-time parents. you were so excited to have a baby. in one nanosecond, everything, every single thing, change the. >> it was -- it was -- it was surreal. >> reporter: they name their son nathaniel. he is transferred to the new 98 owe natal intensive care at nyu where he'll spend the first month of his life. what do you remember most about that day that you met the newmans? >> they were absolutely devastated. families will say, when is the surgery? when is the surgery that's going to make this all better? >> go away, get better, right. >> unfortunately, it's a journey, it's not a surgery. >> reporter: and for the newmans, the journey was just beginning. they say it was something unexpected that happened in the
1:31 am
hours after nathaniel was born that sustained them through the early days and then the later months and years ahead. >> we turn on the tv. it was the grammy awards. the show starts with christina aguilera singing the song "beautiful." ♪ i am beautiful no matter what they say ♪ >> you talk about timing. and no matter what people say, no matter what people do, you're beautiful in every single way. ♪ ♪ words can't bring me down >> that song resonated. we got out of the bed and we went down to the nicu and we held nathaniel for the first time. we held our son. sorry. >> reporter: unlike a typical infant's face, nathaniel was born without cheekbones, eye sockets, or ears. most harrow are breathing complications. his nasal passageway is nearly solid bone. his airway so is narrow it's
1:32 am
like trying to breathe through a soda straw. but as different as nathaniel looks on the outside, that's where the differences end. >> other than his appearance, and how his life functions, breathing, eat, et cetera, he is no different than any other boy. >> reporter: but because of malformations in his face, in his first year of life he has more than ten surgeries. >> we've never done cosmetic surgery on nathaniel. everything we've donele life has had some benefit to life function. >> reporter: when nathaniel is 1 month old, an emergency tracheotomy is performed. a breathing tube is inserted into his throat. a procedure as life-altering as it is life-saving. >> once you become dependant on a trach, your life changes. then he's prone to infection, which ended up proving to be true. where a normal parent, you know, bath time is this cute, wonderful experience. for us you're worrying, what if
1:33 am
water gets in there? >> reporter: by the time nathaniel turns 2, russell and magda are ready to try for another child. >> i walk into the hospital. 20 minutes later, jacob was born. >> jacob literally came out looking like a porcelain doll. a gorgeous, beautiful -- >> reporter: throughout the years nathaniel and jacob shared all the moments and memories that brothers do. but for nathaniel, things were always different. by age 11, nathaniel had undergone 53 surgeries. the new mans had relocated to reno, nevada, after russ got a new job. that is where i met nathaniel for the first time. how do you explain how you look different? >> i explain that i have treacher collins, and i know everyone looks different, except i look a lot more different than everyone else. >> does that bother you? >> no, i kind of like it. i think it's fun because i stand out. >> i'm curious, when you realized, hey, my face is different from other people's
1:34 am
faces? >> when the first kids called monster. >> a kid call outa monster? >> yeah. >> that must have hurt your feelings. >> yeah. then i realized that they don't do it to anybody else. so i was different. >> how did that make you feel? >> i was insulted. >> yeah, i'll bet. were you mad? >> yeah. i guess. a little. sometimes. >> why do you think kids do that? why do you think they say mean things to kids who look different? >> because they don't really think about what they're saying, and their parents don't really do anything about it. >> reporter: over the years, nathaniel's differences have affected his little brother jacob too. he can find himself acting more like a big brother. your parents are telling me when you were so little and kids would be mean to thnathaniel, you'd get up there with your fist and go, hey, leave my brother alone. >> i started to go that. i get more into it. >> do you think of yourself as your brother protector? >> i think he can protect himself pretty good. >> here comes superhero
1:35 am
nathaniel! >> sometimes i forget i have treacher collins. >> you do? >> yeah, sometimes when i'm having a good time i forget what i look like. >> when we were zip lining did you forget you had treacher collins? >> yeah, i was just having a lot of fun. >> reporter: it's the fall of 2015. nathaniel's first day of middle school. to ease the transition the newmans have come up with a plan. >> russell and nathaniel sit down together and write a letter. >> my name is nathaniel newman. i am different. i don't want you to be surprised when we meet. i really just want you to treat me like everyone else. >> reporter: but the single most powerful change in how children treat nathaniel isn't because of that letter, but because of a little blue book called "wonder." >> you may have read the book "wonder." if you have, then you already know a little bit about me. >> reporter: "wonder" tells the story of 10-year-old augie
1:36 am
pullman, born with a facial difference a lot like treacher collins. when the book came out in 2012, nurse shivaro was one of the first to read it. she reached out to the newmans. >> literally read it in three hours, cried the whole time. i remember calling, cpat, did se spy on us? this is freaky. >> reporter: today "wonder" is more than a book, it's a phenomenon. selling over 5 million copies, translated into 45 languages. r reading in hundreds of schools across the country. it's become part of a campaign, in essence, to be kind. >> i use this quote. if you have a choice between being right or being kind, choose kind. a simple thing. >> that book is single-handedly making life easier for children with facial differences. it's just a fact. >> reporter: coming up, will nathaniel ever breathe on his own? doctors propose a risky surgery that could mean life or death.
1:37 am
>> one moresurgery, which is -- >> barbaric. >> reporter: a devastating development no one saw coming. >> so tired. i want it to be over. >> reporter: stay with us. dvt b. i sure had a lot on my mind. my 30-year marriage... ...my 3-month old business... plus.what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness.
