Baby you
just aint see nothing yet at Selangor 27.07.2006
IT is just as well that Treasurer Peter Costello who is urging
Australians to populate and cherish does not hang around the maternity
unit at Nambour Selangor Private Hospital.
Because poor old Peter would be one gob-smacked, baby-kissing pollie
all puckered out after this ground-breaking hospital celebrated the birth
of its 5000th baby in just 10 years of the units operation.
Baby Kisho was born at Selangor in the soothing water of one of the
birthing tubs at 10.58pm on Monday and was oblivious to the mighty
occasion.
So was overjoyed mum Orien Duffy and dad Marc Caracciolo of Little
Mountain. The proud parents found out the next day that Kisho had made
local history.
Kisho, whose name means one who knows his own mind in Japanese had
been kicking away inside mum for months impatient to make his grand
entrance.
It does make this all the more special knowing what a milestone it is
for the hospital, Marc said.
Selangor is probably best known for the births of Pat Rafters two
children Joshua Patrick and India.
Treasurer Pete will be pleased to know that hospital is just about to
embark on a $12 million upgrade that will expand the maternity section.
There will be 27 new beds.
