So sad. With the babies being born in India, they probably don’t have much chance as evidenced by the condition of the facility (paneling on the wall!) and the adult size oxygen mask being used on the babies :(
“hope to operate once her condition is more stable”
I guess I’m just dense, but it doesn’t sound like, from the description of shared organs, there is much that can be done.
Poor babies.
Two heads are better than one?
Prayers for the little ones.
Probably wants to do some internal clean-up to let their organs function better - restructuring partially-divided organs and so forth. I’m no physician, though.
Amen.
OK, I was thinking it too.
“doctors say the twins cannot be separated because they share so many key body parts.”
Duh. I doubt even one of them could live if the other was removed. They have the same birthday and will no doubt have the same approximate time of death as well, God willing that be a long time from now. They are not the only ones to share this condition, by the way. There are twins I read about living in the U.K. with almost the exact same.
Also the Frankel twins in the US, as mentioned in the article.
Whoops! Hensel, not Frankel!
There are the Abigail and Brittany Hensel who were born here in the US with 2 heads. They are leading a normal life. Thank God these special angels were not aborted simply because they do not look like the rest of us. God Bless these parents.
Oh my..
Carnival Freak Show meets the internet.
I’m not going.
Indeed.
I feel sorry for the guy that marries her !
I have very mixed feelings about such births as these, but for now, I will pray for the family, and keep my personal reactions to myself. I can’t believe they didn’t see this before, unless the mother is one of those women who goes through her pregnancy without ongoing doctor’s care. Maybe the family couldn’t afford all those tests and office visits.
A devastating turn of events.
You mean “guys” - “she” is two distinct individuals.
Prayers for them and the family.
... in the excerpt provided, which I briefly skimmed:
This is India
This is extreme poverty
... so no, regular doctor’s visits were not a priority.
