Firstborn of a navyman and a nursing student.
We lived in a small apt. under the railroad bridge in a big city by the river.

1961.I am 11 months old,and my mother goes to the hospital to have another baby.
The baby was born with a heart defect,she had to be taken by ambulance about 50 miles to a bigger city,for surgery.She was only 3 days old when they did open heart surgery on her she went into the operating room (normal),there was a problem with the anesthesia,and when she came out her heart was fixed,but she was completely brain damaged.She never learned to talk,she couldn't hear.She could barely see.She needed to be fed through a tube in her stomach for a long time.
The doctors tried to tell my parents that she needed to be put in an institution,but they said "no" we are taking her home.
