Like any growing up young girl, every single young girl is a massive, flaming problem, so the start, it's there. She's growing up and she's got to move on into life, and those are very difficult, brave decisions on how you guide a young person through that. Helena was the first of our children to be born when her mother Jeanette, pregnant with triplets, went into premature labor.
His head's down at the moment. I remember being in hospital in Cheltenham and it was 4 o'clock in the morning,. And then the doctor having a look and he could see the baby's hand. What I didn't realize was the exceptional complications going through to full term with triplets. And there were two girls and a boy. And it just went wrong. Helena survived, barely clinging on to life. You didn't know when the phone was going to go and say your child's dying. It was like that.
That's how near it was. And you were warned about this.
We don't know the hour, the moment or the day when something's going to go right or wrong. You spend hours and hours looking at your little baby and willing them to survive. I remember going in one day and the piece of skin between her nose and her mouth had started to grow, and I could see that it was a bit of distance there. Her eyes are opening. That sort of thing. All the very, very tiny, little benchmarks to it. But after several weeks of intensive care, Helena's condition suddenly deteriorated.
I remember saying to this technician, what are you scanning her for? And they said, we're just looking to see what's going on in her heart. And the world fell apart at that moment in time. Helena had a blood clot in her heart, and other complications were setting in. She was getting worse. She'd got some problem while she was expanding with water. They said, right, your daughter's really ill.
Chances are she's going to be seriously handicapped. She'll never be right. Two days later, they're asking to turn her life support off, and my overwhelming memory is why did I bury Millie and little Barry when Helena's going to die? Jeanette and Barry were faced with their worst nightmare. Either ending Helena's life or letting her survive with a near certainty of permanent brain damage. We're sitting in this room next to the cot, and she's sedated, and her eyes are watching us have this conversation.
And as I looked at her, it showed me that she wanted to fight. And I just thought, god, if she's got that much determination, then we need to just fight for everything you can do. You know that there is a bond, something that's. Definitely we weren't turning that child off, not a cat in hell's chance. It wasn't going to happen. And they said, all we can do is experiment. I said, let's go experiment, then.
They said, we can give her a drug that, if it's a blood clot in her heart, it may dissolve it, but it has never worked with babies before. There's a one in a million chance it'll work. If it works, she's going to have a major handicap, but you don't care at that point in time. You take what's being offered because you want your baby. And the drug worked.
And she turned out to be a great fighter. And it was-- well, it was magic, how nobody expected her to live, and all of the sudden she surprised everybody. Three months later, Helena was off life support and able to go home. Helena's story is a story of survival. It's survival against the odds. There's no doubt about that. But equally, Helena can't live with that label for the rest of her life.
Helena has to get on with the normal teenage life. I think we struggle to do that sometimes because we wrap her up in cotton wool because she's so special to us. In September , Helena became a teenager. Mum and dad are now divorced, but Barry is still a full-time dad. Well, I'm so pleased you got your hair back to its curly self.
It's always been her ambition to be a journalist of some sort. And she watches journalists and she reads. She reads a tremendous amount. If I do end up being a journalist, I don't want to be one of those annoying ones in David-- like, waits outside Number 10 for ages. No offense to people who actually do that. I write fan fiction. I'm obsessed with it. It's usually sad things because sad things are easy to write about, let's face it. Because otherwise, it's a flipping fairy tale. I don't want to write fairy tales. They're too flipping-- you know what happens. A beautiful girl is treated badly and then loads of crap happens, and then she marries someone at like She's a child that was made for the 21st century.
She's made by technology. She's saved by technology. As long as she's still got her mobile phone and her computer. After Helena's birth, on September , the rest of our children on "Child of Our Time" were born over the millennium. To me it's sort of like, yippee! Oh, now what do I do? I remember first night we brought her home it was freezing cold.
Putting her in the car. Don't come any closer. People always say it's a magical time having you and your baby. I think one of the saddest things you ever said was you never looked back on it with any great-- Oh, no but it was just a grind.
I don't believe what he's just done. That was the first proper two steps that she'd actually done. Even the first few years, the children's personalities had begun to take shape. Taliesin as a toddler likes the attention being on him and didn't like it if you had to go off and do something else.
There were so many times that I didn't want to go into school, and I just started getting worse then, saying, I don't want to go in. Three months later, Helena was off life support and able to go home. In June, , Olivia returned to her childhood home And it just went wrong. You want that one? There's a one in a million chance it'll work. The story of a young survivor!
And one of his favorite tricks was unplugging the Hoover. And the first time that it happened, I stripped the Hoover apart because there's no way the plug could have just fallen out the wall. Then it happened again, and this time I just saw two little feet crawling off into the front room and realized that he's come and unplugged it and then crawled off acting all innocent.
So yeah, he was a practical joker from birth, basically, I think. When Parys was younger, I relied a lot on voice. Hold the door for me. Like when he got out the car, he knew I couldn't-- you see mum's clinging on to the child for deal life. Parys didn't do that. Right, now you be very careful because there's cars, OK?
Now you stay here. Now stay there, please. When I said stay with me, he stayed. So he relied on me verbally rather than physically. She put trust into me to listen to her. I couldn't just ignore her because she couldn't physically pick me up and move me or like grab me to take me somewhere. I'd have to always listen to her, which I would.
Alison Lapper found fame as an artist. In , a cast of her body was placed on a plinth in Trafalgar Square in London. Allison took Parys almost everywhere she went, and the two developed the strongest bond. We're going to the Eiffel Tower, babes. Of course and you. Where do I go without you?
He's traveled a lot for someone so young, but I like him being around. I like being with him. He is my world. He is so important to me. You're such a brave boy being up here. It's great having a famous mum, but the downside is she always talks to everybody who comes past. For example, when we went to Korea-- for some weird reason,.
And it got annoying because we couldn't do anything we wanted without having like 25 people following us with cameras. It's not only Alison's fame which has meant that they're constantly surrounded by people.
Since Parys was born, they've had a carer living with them. It's got its good qualities and bad qualities. For example, a good quality is that if you.

But the bad thing is like if I just wanted to be with my mum, they'd always be around. Don't have much privacy. Like not have anybody else in the house apart from me and my mum, I can't do that. Every once in a while, my mum can just say to the PA, you can stay at home, or something like that, and then me and my mum could just be out, me and her. We're going to go to the Fright-- Fest. Yeah, we're going to do that Tuesday. If we're out on our own, he really loves that. You can just-- it's just time with you and your mum. You don't have someone following you all the time. But these precious moments together.
I look at him and my baby's gone. And I can see glimpses of the man that he's going to look like coming through. Do you like any of these scarves? Let's have a look. The way he walks. The way he carries himself a little bit different. And as he grows, we change, and our relationship changes, and definitely he is stepping back. I hope that we'll always have a good relationship. I've done my best, and I hope I haven't done too badly. Only time will tell you how this may influence what their children might do later on in life. When I grow up, I'd like to be some sort of doctor.
And when I grow up, I would like to be a doctor or a scientist. I hope to see myself doing something clever, or just be a YouTube gamer. I think it would be something to do with sport, but I'm not sure which sport yet. I really don't know what I want to be when I'm older, but I know I'd like to have a job that I enjoy. My mum wanted me to be an astronaut when I was small, but she kind of knew that I didn't think that's going to happen for me because I'm not so clever at science.
I wanted to make her like astronaut. Het Shah lives with her family in north London. My first thing would be to be an actress, and then slowly move on to my singing career and have my own,. I guess, band, and my album. And then kind of have my own fashion line-- so do fashion designing, too. And have my own album alongside doing movies as well, so doing everything at a time. Up till now, Het was a little girl and whatever I was telling her she was listening, and I as I said, she's a very easy girl. But now, she's in secondary school.
She's got her own thinking. I probably will go to US or LA to kind of follow my dream. If I do try and get a doctorate and get in the psychology thing that I really want to do, or photography, or forensic science, singing, whatever, I have lots of different things to fall back on.
The only important things about the job is one, I enjoy it, and two, it's good for me. Since she was very young, Rhianna has always understood the value of money. Sometimes you have been quite pressed for money, but I never liked being like that. When I was a little kid, I was going, look, this is an own brand, and this is not an own brand. So I knew from quite an early age. I just need some money. Well, you can pay for everything, then, I presume with your great wad of money that you have in your purse. The family's finances have often been tight. Andy has tried many different jobs.
To be honest, you've always been a really, really good worker when you put your mind to it. It's just that, in the past, you've got slightly distracted quite quickly. There are some things I've started and not seen through yet, I'll agree with that. The kitchen at Monk Fryston.
And the conservatory at Monk Fryston. Buying and selling cars. Once the novelty's gone, you're not interested anymore. What color do you want? You want that one? Thank you very much. Andy even tried his hand as a market trader. Some days you could have marvelous days, and then two or three weeks on the trot, nothing. Poor as a church mouse.
And then you're trying to live. If there was work there, I'd do it. If there wasn't, fine.
