When doctors told Jane Wilson-Howarth her baby needed surgery, she
feared his life would not be worth living. So, she left behind the consultants, the
needles, the tests and took him far away to live among the sane, baby-loving
Cambridge, England. I had returned from Nepal, where we had been living, for
what I had hoped would be quick, uncomplicated delivery. The first thing I noticed
when they pulled him into the world was a gaping black hole in the middle of his
face. Strangely, I wasnt shocked by his appearance. I was infatuated by the tiny
life I held in my arms. We later told his brother Alexander that elves could do the

screwed up my courage and took a deep breath. But he is so much more at ease
away from here. We dont want any more investigations and long-winded reports.
No more needles or tests unless you can prove they will improve his quality of life.

The Nepalese saw his soft-unblemished complexion and blue eyes. On the plane,

Can he speak Nepali? I took him out of his pram to show him off and they said,
He is so handsome, so white, so clean! Their admiration was a forgotten delight
of having a new baby. No one in England dared talk about him or ask about him.

The peace and pace of Nepal was healing for all of us, and Davids tube stayed
in less and less. Sometimes I would slip it in when his appetite was poor, but I
wasnt convinced that it was necessary any more. He took a great liking to buffalo
milk and yoghurt and by the time he was three months old he was chubby. By the
time he was three-and-a-half months old he smiled. That was a milestone that 45
severely handicapped children often never achieved.
11
Things got better and better after this. His weight increased and he seemed to
be doing so well that we decided to take a break and head into the mountains. We

flew to Pokhara and, with two guides carrying all our luggage we walked north towards
the grand Annapura, through the deepest gorge in the world. Whilst I 50 gasped for
every breath, I could hear David amusingly chatting softly to himself. At
a height of 2807 m above sea level, we were short of breath but the holes in
Davids heart had stimulated him to produce more red blood cells to cope in the
thin mountain air.
12 When David was five months old, we took him back to the Cambridge hospital. 55 The
clinical staffs were amazed at how well David had done. They were astonished
that his growing heart had repaired the holes. He no longer needed the medicines
and he never had that open heart surgery.
