To all my moon buds

Life sure does know how to throw you some curve balls doesn't it gaz? Very glad to hear Clovis is improving and that y'all are hanging in there.

For what it's worth, I myself was a very difficult birth. I was born premature (4 lbs.), jaundiced and my bones in my head started fusing together too fast, which if left uncorrected would have resulted in me being severely mentally retarded since my brain would not have continued to grow.

Suffice it to say (since I'm typing this, regardless of what some may judge about my mental state) even with 1964 medical technology they stuck electrodes in my head and fixed me up. So it's great to hear your positive attitude, it makes a huge difference. All the best to you and the family and my sincerest best wishes for Clovis' continued improvement.

Gaz,

together with all other Moonies, I wish you Isa and Clovis all the best for the future.

Nearly 25 years ago, friends of mine suffered from a similar shock as you when their son was born. Instead of a fully developed brain, the head space was occupied with 40% of water, missing big parts of the functional brain. In that time the doctors where not so optimistic, but like a wonder, the remaining part of the brain assumed most of the work the missing part should have done with the help of a lot of training. So their son is leaving a near normal life today, enjoying himself and giving joy to his parents.

Last but not least, let us give a warm welcome to Clovis to this world!!!

Congratulations on having a baby son. Life is so delicate and precious and I am sure that Clovis will improve as time passes despite a difficult journey. Having lost a baby son a few years back your story brings back many memories of loss and grief, but also joy for you and Isabelle. Cherrish every day and please let us all know here at the moon how you are all doing. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing and there is lots of hope and support out there. Best Wishes, Steve
