At last some good news (Abigail Wicthalls)

[SprintV8]

Abigail Witchalls, the young mother who was stabbed in the neck while walking with her toddler son in a country lane, has given birth to a baby boy, a family spokeswoman said. <br>
<br>
Mrs Witchalls was discharged from hospital last week after undergoing more than six months of treatment to injuries which left her partially paralysed. <br>
<br>
The 26-year-old was in the early stages of pregnancy when she was attacked on April 20 while pushing her son Joseph in a buggy along a lane near her home in Little Bookham, Surrey. <br>
<br>
The assault left her with a damaged spine and she spent five months in the spinal cord injury centre at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in north London. <br>
<br>
A spokesman for St George's Hospital in Tooting in south London said: "Abigail and Benoit Witchalls are delighted to announce the birth of a healthy baby boy at 2.30pm weighing 5lbs and 6oz - a little brother for Joseph. <br>
<br>
"The delivery went very well and mother and baby are doing fine." <br>
<br>
A resident of Little Bookham, who asked not to be named, said: "Everybody is happy for poor Abigail, it's a wonderful thing, we thought it was going to be closer to Christmas. <br>
<br>
"The local people see it as an answer to prayer, they are rejoicing and giving thanks." <br>
<br>
Villagers are expected to offer prayers of thanksgiving for the birth at Abigail's local church, Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church in Little Bookham. <br>

That is good news, the truama that woman went through is uncomprehendable to most of us and to carry a baby through to birth in such circumstances is to be frank, a bloody miracle.

When someone shows such fortitude it should make the rest of us realise just how fortunate we are...and give thanks for it.<br>
