Scots mum whose son died after catching cold sore falls pregnant with 'miracle' baby girl
22.04.2022 - 15:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots mum is overjoyed after falling pregnant with a "miracle" baby girl over the age of 40 after both of her sons died.
Grief-stricken Lynsey Drummond sadly lost her boys Evan, five, and Taylor, 21, just thee years apart as the heartbroken mum felt she no purpose in their after their death.
The 43-year-old, from Motherwell, became a full time carer for her sons - who both had cerebral palsy - when Evan nearly died as a baby after catching a cold sore.
As reported in the Mirror, the Herpes Simplex Virus can be fatal for young babies, who don't have the immune system to fight it.
Although Evan thankfully survived, he was left with brain damage which caused him to develop cerebral palsy, a condition which affects motor skills and development.
Evan's older brother Taylor was also born with cerebral palsy after he was born premature at 31 weeks.
As a result of the short life expectancy associated with the condition, Evan lost his battle in 2014 while Taylor passed just three years later in 2017.
Former childcare assistant Lynsey said: "Evan was just 12 days old when the midwife came to check on him and said that he didn't seem right.
"All babies get that little rash but on his nose and nostrils it was bleeding.
"At first they didn't know what it was, they thought it might be meningitis but the tests weren't making sense.
"When they told me they thought it was the cold sore virus I said what are you talking about, I've never had a cold sore in my life.
"But then they explained how easily it could have been transferred from someone else without us realising."
Lynsey will never know for definite where or how Evan contracted HSV and as result, she is understandably anxious about letting anyone kiss or touch her new baby.
She said:
