Trouble Looms

[R. Richard]

It's easy to see little Pixie come crying home from school, "Mommy, mommy the other kids are calling me ham on rye again!" The least that they could have done was to wrap her in a Harrods sandwich bag, then she could get her kicks in Knightsbridge, not in Stepney anymore.

Baby Born Three MONTHS Premature Kept Alive By Doctors Who Bundled Her Into Sandwich Bag

A tiny premature baby was incredibly kept alive after quick-thinking doctors placed her inside a Tesco sandwich bag to keep her warm.

Pixie Griffiths-Grant weighed just 1.1lbs when she was delivered by emergency C-section at 28 weeks - but her weight quickly fell to less than 1lb minutes after birth.

Doctors immediately bundled her into a see-through sandwich bag - emblazoned with the supermarket’s logo - to stop her body temperature dropping.

Pixie, who was lighter than half a bag of sugar and smaller than her mother’s hand, was rushed to intensive care, where doctors expected her to survive for less than an hour.

But miraculously, tiny Pixie - so-named because of her size - defied the odds and is now at home and thriving, five months on.

Mum Sharon Grant, 37, said: “As soon as she was born, they gave her a little hat and put her straight into the bag to keep her body temperature up.

"After that they wrapped her in bubble wrap and got her straight to intensive care.

"It was so random that they had her in the Tesco bag - it must have just been what the operating theatre had at the time."

My Granddaughter was born early (not that early, but enough) and was
really tiny. My missus got her Dolls clothes to wear, but she has made it to adulthood (she's a big girl) and is a mother herself.

It's so cool, how medical science has advanced in the area of saving preemies. Plastic bags not withstanding, that's pretty amazing.

Tesco? I prefer the Waitrose sandwich bags myself.

In either case, you're not to refer to her as, 'ham on rye.'

You seem to be the only person who's thought of calling her that. Can I guess what role you played in your elementary and high school classes?

Whi' Boy pretty much stopped attending school, after age 12. I would steal books from the public library and learn what I could. I always returned the books, in good condition and the librarians started to provide me with reading lists. When I did go to school, as a result of a full court press by the scumbags, the boys initially tried to toss me for my lunch money. Since I had no lunch money. I reacted badly.

Darling, she would be 'smoked salmon on ciabatta' at the very least.
