Clean Queens had our first home birth!

I was at a clients’ home dealing with another issue completely, when suddenly baby Hugo decided it was time to make his presence felt!
Surprised?

So was new mum Anna, when baby Hugo was born on her best single seater lounge chair.

Anna had no idea she was pregnant! She had been traveling and yes, she had put on some weight but not enough to suggest pregnancy. It happens more often than we realise (1 in 2,455 births) and then out of the blue two lives change with very little fanfare.

I’m so used to dealing with the other end of the life spectrum – this was definitely one for the books!

We wish Anna and Hugo all the best for their new lives.

Clean Queens has been able to families from any corner in the world.

This week I met with ‘Greg’ who flew in from the UK. His brother Ian passed away at home not noticed for several weeks and has been at the Coroners Court Mortuary for nearly two months.

Ian was a retired man, living alone and kept very much to himself. His life had been devoted to serving his country and helping other people. As a young man he had served in the Navy in the UK. After immigrating to Australia he joined the NSW Fire Brigade and put his life on the line every shift to help others.

Ian was also a diabetic and had to keep constant watch on his health. His diet and exercise was a strong part of his daily routine.

Sadly, Ian ended up one of the many ‘unattended deaths’ in NSW.  Clean Queens has been privileged to restore order to Ian’s last environment and we were also able to help Greg locate Ian’s dentist in order to identify him at the Coroners Court.

All arrangements have been made now for Ian’s funeral and I hope he has a great send off from family and work colleagues.
