He said that Joyce had eclampsia but I am lucky enough not to know what that involves. I don't really know what puerperal fever is either.<br />I found it heartbreaking, looking at that young child completely unaware of her fate.Rose C'est La Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193872186283731567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-17839488669869274012010-08-18T12:36:50.420-04:002010-08-18T12:36:50.420-04:00It's wonder as many women made it through a si...It's wonder as many women made it through a single childbirth, not to mention multiples.

They must have been made of strong stuff.

I don't know how any of our grandparents survived, with huge families, one income and inadequate housing. <br /><br />My grand parents and their 10 surviving children, plus grandpa's brother, left Russia for the East End of London. There they lived in a flat that had 3 bedrooms (the boys slept in one, the girls in another) and uncle slept in the loungeroom.<br /><br />I would not have coped - I fall apart if my kitchen is messy :(Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
