'BECOMING KARL: a brain-injured baby's journey to recovery' (by Norma Delgarno)

'BECOMING KARL: a brain-injured baby's journey to recovery' (by Norma Delgarno) Karl was born brain-injured and deemed ineducable. Today he is an artist and living independently.

A personal story written by the mother of a baby seriously brain-injured by congenital toxoplasmosis and hydrocephalus, and deemed to be ineducable. He survived the neo-natal period, and went on to have motor, cognitive, and musical therapy; he attended kindergarten and mainstream school, and grew up to become an able person and a talented artist. The story spans fifty three years, starting off tragically, but gradually turning into an amazing story of success.

Karl is loving the new wheelchair, sitting back and enjoying the sights and being wheeled around! He's got another support worker too so he's able to get out more.

Still waiting! Big holdup with Amazon. New edition has still not been posted, and they have only got the old edition on their website. Meanwhile I have received a proof copy of the revised edition, and it's looking good. Can't wait to get a shipment. In the meantime patience is required! Karl is doing well, and busy painting. Cheers, Norma😍😊😊

Still waiting! Any day now, they tell me, my book 'Becoming Karl' will become available. As soon as I get the link I can post it for you all. Thanks for your patience!

Well, we are nearly there! The revised edition of Becoming Karl (2023) should be on Amazon any day now. They still only have the first edition listed, which means I can't send the link just yet. Won't be long now and I will let you know asap.

Meanwhile Karl is doing well and busy painting. And enjoying his cat, Vincent, who is the biggest cat I've ever seen. He is so heavy I can't lift him!

I'm feeling happy. I've just finished the final E-proof. Whew, my eyes are tired. And with two cats curled up on my knee it's not easy! Anyway it's off to the publisher for liftoff. Won't be long now I hope. Meanwhile Karl continues to keep well and is busy painting!
