Thanks for those kind words Jim.
Malcolm.
Malcolm:
Thanks for part one.
Your doctors were spot on - it was really amazing that you survived what was a
horribly life-limiting situation.
I'm so glad you did - your wit and wisdom are an inspiration.
Keep em coming!

Part one.
First September , 1942. in the living room of a counsel house in Burnage South
Manchester. In the room was my mother and a mid wife and myself of coarse. I
was ten pound something , a big baby. After a few minutes my mother told the
mid wife there was something wrong with me, my breathing wasn't right. After
the mid wife had a closer inspection she told my mother I had a full cleft
palate and I need to be rushed to hospital urgently. I don't know how they
called for an ambulance in those days because there was no telephones. I was to
young to remember anything about going in the ambulance so I don't no if it was
motorised or horse drawn.
I spent the next six months in the Duchess of York hospital for baby's. I was
told in later life that they struggled to keep me alive as having no palate the
food was going in my mouth and out through my nostrils. It would take hours
just to get a couple of ounces of food into me. At the age of sic months they
gave me back to my mother and told her to enjoy what time I had left. I now
weighed six pounds.
They didn't know then how to repair cleft palates in those days. I don't know
how but my mother kept me alive and going in the hope that one day they could
do something about it. That day came when I was three years old.
More to come.
love Malcolm. xxxx.
