Thalidomide Baby Spotlight – Louise Medus

Louise Medus was born with no arms or legs and malformed hands and feet. She grew up in an institution but as an adult, went on to marry and have two “normal” children who are now 20 and 16 years old. At 46, Louise is divorced but remarried to the love of her life – Darren Mansell, 47, and also a thalidomide survivor.
