NBC-6; "Doctors say they "had to go into emergency mode" during surgery to separate twins joined at the head when one girl developed an irregular heartbeat and low blood pressure. The lead surgeon says the Baltimore medical team was about three-quarters through the long operation when the one child's condition deteriorated. The twin with the complications died shortly after the operation. Johns Hopkins Children's Center doctors say the other is in critical but stable condition. The lead surgeon says it's too soon to say if the surviving one-year-old German girl has any brain damage. But he says barring any serious complications, the girl will grow up to "lead a normal, independent life."
This is so sad.. Because these little girls and their parents went thru so much to have this done, to get to America to just do it. Now one of the twins died, and the other may have brain-damage from this. I ran the article when they first did the surgey because, I thought this was a good thing in today's medical world. I'm not saying its still not, but I wish it could of turned out better for this poor family...I home we all will remember them in our prays this week and hug our own children. Because we are So...Lucky, because our own never had to go thru this and they are still alive and well with us. This is a mother's pain feeling for another mother......
