Throughout her pregnancy doctors tried to get Linda to abort this baby saying this child would have some defects or would not live and possibly killing Linda as well. Linda refused to abort the baby and in doing so almost gave her life. On June 27, 1977 a beautiful baby girl named, Michelle Dene'e Walker was entered into life. During the delivery Linda had a hemorraghed and almost lost her life. It would awhile before Linda could leave the hospital but Don wouldnt take Michelle home until Linda could come home with them! This would be a start of many medical concerns Linda had to deal with throughout her life.
