Today
is my birthday it was 52 years ago at 4.05pm on a Friday afternoon
that I was born. I came into the world 6 weeks early and as such I
was in a humidicrib for 4 weeks weighing only 4lb 2oz's, I was only
12 inches long.
I
was 5 weeks old when I was able to go home with mum and dad. However,
that was not the end of my time in hospital at 3 months of age my
parents were in a car accident I suffered a fractured skull and was
in hospital for about 5 days along with my dad, then at 6 months of
age I was hospitalised with pneumonia I was in hospital for 6 days
that time.
I
was so tiny and frail when I was born that the doctors thought I
wouldn't survive the night and because of that my nanna wanted me to
be baptised so I was baptised when I was only hours old.
A
number of years after my birth my mum had a there but for the grace
of God thought about me, you see when mum was pregnant with me she
suffered terrible morning sickness and was prescribed thalidomide but
mum felt funny taking anything while pregnant she just didn't feel
right about it and decided against taking it. Of course thalidomide
has since been linked with birth defects, so I am lucky that mum
didn't take the drug.
I
was an only child till I was around 6 years old when mum & dad
had my sister Jeannie followed by my sister Sue and then of course
when I was 15 they had Sandra and then David.
Happy Birthday, hope you had a lovely day. I am sure you did.

DeleteWe live in a world of roads and several individual vehicles jockeying for a special space in streets. That is why we should take the drivers' and the passengers' welfare into consideration. It is easy to get hit by a wayward vehicle, or to run into a collission. We should take note of the legal remedies and statutes necessary to preserve and uphold that welfare, amidst those intersections of victims, assailants and other factors such as nature and the immediate conditions of the cars themselves. Thanks for sharing your story! Take care always!
