Comments on: With pre-eclampsia and meningitis scares behind her, Sophie Ellis Bextor looks to the future http://celebritybabies.people.com/2007/05/12/with_preeclamps/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:24:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Moms & Babies - People.comhttp://img2.timeinc.net/people/static/i/v4home/peoplelogo.pnghttp://celebritybabies.people.com20485 By: Autumn http://celebritybabies.people.com/2007/05/12/with_preeclamps/#comment-82327 Sat, 12 May 2007 18:06:45 +0000 http://peoplecbb.wordpress.com/2007/05/12/with_preeclamps#comment-82327 Although I’m not a mother myself, I feel for Sophie because having a child go through so much at such a young age can’t be easy.

Her description of her son, Sonny, except for the red hair, sound much like myself as a young child. Her description of her son’s strengths and weaknesses leads me to believe that the meningitis has affected him to some degree physically, but fortunately his cognitive and vocal skills haven’t been affected.

(My mother told me I was talking in nearly full sentences at a year, but didn’t learn to walk until I was over 2 yrs. I wonder what Sophie’s son’s mental & physical milestones were?)

Sonny will no doubt be able to lead a full and productive life even into adulthood, as long as he doesn’t let his coordination issues get him down as he grows up.
