Miracle Mom with Broken Neck Delivers Baby

On Feb. 11, 2009, Tanja Rose gave birth to a healthy baby girl. While almost 4,000 babies are born each year at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, what makes Tanja's story so extraordinarily special is she gave birth while being in a halo (a metal frame screwed into the skull used to restrict head and neck movement after a fracture or neck fusion) something doctors say has never been done before.

1994 I was one of the first to wear one so the dr said, car crash, massive head injuries, C2 fractured, right leg fema snapped,

I have a pin from hip to knee screwed in place, and the halo for three months

I still went out to partys hung out with friend went restaurants pubs but not clubs lol, every one looks.. I even got laid a couple of times lol,

I enjoyed and hated my time with the Halo but I will never forget it, life is better when i dont talk about it but sometimes you do,
