1 year ago today my brother and his wife were blessed with the birth of two baby girls (photo below). We use the phrase miracle babies when talking about them because they were born weighing just 1lb-13oz. While in utero they underwent a very tricky surgery to supply both fetus' with equal nutrients from the placenta. Prior to, it was realized during a routine ultrasound that one fetus was receiving 75% of the nutrients (more than needed and often leads to heart failure) and the other receiving 25% (not enough to sustain growth and development). Once diagnosed a highly trained Surgeon conducted a micro surgery to equally supply the two with nutrients. The success of the surgery was not fully known until they were born and began to develop. After spending more than three months in a highly specialized section of the hospital they were allowed to visit their home. I m happy to report that they are celebrating their one year birthday and could not be any healthier. From the photos above you can certainly tell they have both added all the weight needed and have very healthy appetites. Thanks to modern medicine and many prayers we are truly blessed to have them in our lives.
Well said, Brother.
