生命的奇蹟!對22歲媽媽雪莉 (Sheree Psaila) 而言,懷胎是件幾乎不可能的事,因為她的生理缺陷讓她無法像常人一樣抱起、安撫自己的孩子。根據英國《每日郵報》報導,她天生就有一種罕見的基因缺陷:手臂和腿都沒有肌肉 。她表示:「他 (孩子) 哭鬧時我無法馬上到他身旁並將他抱起來,我必須等別人為我抱起他」。不過即便養育孩子對她來說難上加難,光是她成功生下孩子就已經是奇蹟一樁,一起來看看她的故事吧!

Sheree Psaila cant hold her own baby boy without assistance and is physically unable to bathe him or change his nappy on her own. She was born with a rare congenital condition called arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), meaning that she has virtually no muscle tissue in her arms or legs and is barely able to bend her joints. Sheree has had approximately 22 surgeries to help alleviate the symptoms of her AMC, including muscle transfers and tendon releases, but her condition remains largely unchanged.

夫妻兩人因此雇用了一名看護幫忙照顧海登,一週來家裡5天。不過養育孩子的重責大任主要還是由克里斯擔當。雪莉說:「當我們去游泳時,我也會想要在游泳池裡抱住他,教他游泳,就像克里斯那樣。」儘管生活困難重重,一切都無法阻止雪莉當個好媽媽的夢想。雪莉一邊帶孩子,一邊繼續完成在技職學校的學業,已經可以說是憑著母愛成功克服了生理障礙,過著常人的生活!
