This is me ready to be transferred to the Mater Misericordia Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Newcastle. Mum had had a beautiful pregnancy (unlike Kiel's where she had high blood pressure and toximia) She had only put on 500gms and had been very well until 36 weeks (longer than she had carried Kiel he was born 8 weeks premature by emergency c section) when all hell broke loose. Mum's uterus ruptured and she could have died and they couldn't find my heartbeat so they took me from Mum without any anesthetic and the only way to describe how I was was dead. Dad was asked who the doctors should save Me or Mum thank God Dad said both and they did but unfortunately a part of my brain didn't regenerate as babies brains can do and I was left with Epilepsy, Cerebellar Ataxia and Gross Motor Retardation but with intense occupational therapy, speech therapy and asssistance from Northcott I turned out OK.
