Katherine Hayward, my life with cerebral palsy

My identical twin sister and I were born 3 months premature weighing 2lbs 6 ounces. Lack of oxygen caused a grade 4 bilateral brain bleed. I had cardiac arrests and multiple lung collapses. I have Spastic Quadriplegia Cerebral Palsy and Hydrocephalus. I was on life support in the NICU for my first two weeks of life. Everyone thought we'd die. . My sister did. I have a shunt inside my brain for my hydrocephalus . I survived when no one thought I would. This is my story

Dewey's Read- a- thon October 2013

So tomorrow is the start of Dewey's read- a- thon October 2013 . It'll be my 3rd one , and marks a year of read-a-thon participation , and so far it's been really enjoyable . I'm being much more sociable this time , and have spent the day finding blogs to follow on WordPress and here, and already have some new twitter followers. I was originally just going to blog from the My Reading Paradise blog on WordPress, but saw there are loads of people who're participating in the Read-a- thon who have Blogger blogs , and want people to have the chance to follow my progress here . It's almost 11 pm now and I want to get some sleep (not without reading first , of course! ) so I'm ready for tomorrow . The first book I'll be reading is One Day by David Nicholls .
