Hi, my name is Glen Mc Millan.  As the owner and the author of this site, I have decided to create this site as a way of letting my experiences be known or just good advice to people who need a boost or a helping hand.  This is my story in short.

February 1970 - I lived in Mt Roskill with my three brothers, one sister and my parents ( the best ), always very supportive.

Anyway, I lived on top of a hill on a very steep road. A couple of months after my 10th birthday, I returned home from school,  had a little snack and told my mum I was going down the road to visit my friend.  I had a two wheeler bicycle and like many young boys  I was speed crazy.  So off I went, flat stick peddling down the road.

On this day my life would change.  I was to run into roadwork's dug  just an hour earlier.  I fell and somehow got up and walked home, and when I got inside, I collapsed.

My eyes closed and it would be 32 days before my eyes opened. It would be almost four years before I finally got to go home. 

The four years of my life between early 1970 through to late 1974 were not pleasant. Aged 10 years, I had a cycle accident in the very street I lived in. As a result of my accident I was left with a permanent disability. I suffered a subdural hematoma, which is bleeding to the brain.

I was rushed to the main hospital in Auckland and shortly after arriving I was operated on to relieve the pressure that was building around my brain. Surgery went well so I was to be transferred still unconscious to a general ward. The year was 1970, I was put still unconscious on a hospital bed to be pushed up the road to a different ward to recover. 

While being pushed up the road I was accompanied by a nurse and an orderly, and things were about to go terribly wrong.

Whilst being pushed between hospital buildings I was to suffer sudden heart failure, my brain was closing down and I had stopped breathing.

It would take almost ten minutes to get me back inside the hospital. 

A great team of medical staff sprang into action. Strangely, despite being near death I felt I was aware of what was happening.
This near death experience was to occur many times over the next eighteen months as I valiantly cling to life.

My breathing  was being assisted by a machine, as I was unable to breath by myself .
I was deeply comatose for the first month, I was aware of noises but my eyes would not open. I was to clinically die on at least four occasions.
Although I was only ten years old, I have very vivid memories of this Near death experience.
