MYSTERIOUS: Mum whose son died after getting cold sore expecting miracle baby | Mind Blowing Facts

A mum who lost two sons has shared her joy after falling pregnant with a 'miracle' baby.

Lynsey Drummond and her family suffered double heartbreak after her sons Evan and Taylor died just three years apart, aged five and 21 respectively. She had become a full-time carer of the boys, who had cerebral palsy.

Her second son Evan had developed the condition after catching a cold sore as a baby.
