| Massingham THE LITTLE GIRL WITH JUST HALF A BRAIN. |
| LITTLE Angelina Massingham had half her brain ravaged by a rare condition - but doctors have found an unusual solution to help her live.
Surgeons at Great Ormond Street Hospital have switched off the side of her brain that is rapidly calcifying, and now brave Angelina lives with just half a brain.
Doctors have told her parents that the left side of her brain will learn to perform the functions that the right side would have performed - and amazingly she will be able to live a normal life.
Her mother Lisa Massingham, 34, said: ‘The operation sounded terrifying. It was as if the doctors were removing half her brain without actually taking it out of her skull.
‘But Angelina was suffering more and more fits, which were lifethreatening, because the right side of her brain was so damaged.
‘It was the only chance she had. ‘ |

| EDGERTON. MUM KEEPS SIZE SIX FIGURE - AFTER SIX CHILDREN. |
| FOR most new mothers, regaining their figure after giving birth seems like an impossible task.
But not for Carol Anne Edgerton.
After giving birth to each of her SIX children, she snapped back to her size SIX figure, just hours after giving birth each time.
After each birth, Miss Edgerton has walked out of the hospital each time with her newborn addition, wearing her size six jeans.
Her post baby figure is so enviable she even beat 20,000 young hopefuls to reach the top 14 in a national swimsuit beauty pageant last month.
Miss Edgerton, 33, a hairdresser, who lives in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, with her partner James Briggs, 26, an accountant, said: ‘There is no secret to my figure - I just have a lot of children to run around after.
‘I never diet after I’ve given birth as I don’t have to. Each time I’ve walked out of hospital in my size six jeans. People have stopped me to ask whose baby I’m carrying, as they don’t believe its mine.’ |

| PADMORE. COUPLE USES SPERM DONOR for THIRD BABY AFTER TWO SONS WITH LIFETHREATENING DISEASE |
| WHEN Neil and Jo Padmore desperately wanted another baby, they came up with an unusual solution.
The two sons Jack and Noah had been diagnosed with a lifethreatening genetic condition - and both needed lifesaving live transplants to survive.
They couldn’t risk having another baby together as it had a 50 per cent chance of being born with same genetic condition as their two sons.
So they enlisted the help of an anonymous sperm donor - and Mrs Padmore fell pregnant using another man’s sperm.
Their baby daughter Evie was born in July last year - yet only Mrs Padmore is her biological parent. |
