Re: Thalidomide Defects
My grandmother took the drug while pregnant with my aunt. She had more internal defects, born with all her organs on the oppiste side of her boys such as heart liver ect, born without some of her valves in her heart. she has many medical precedures throught her life. she actually had a pigs valve put in her heart to replace the one she never had. SHe looked normal except for a blueish color she had as a child. My mom told me stories about her being made fun of in school because of it, my mom had to kick ass as a child for her sister. The drs said she would never live a couple of days even, but she was with us for 38 years. Eventually after being sick for many years because of complications of her birth defect she died. I miss her so much. |
