It might have been that the story was held back on request of the parents or doctors, until they were certain that there were no complications. Then again my mother is 87 and she reads the Mail and they are always behind when it comes to good news, i always thought it was a paper full of doom and gloom.
Err umm is there something that you haven’t told us about you, like that maybe you’re a secret treky? This could be Thorn, but not as we know him Captain LOL
