23 Jan
Summary
- Craniopagus twins are conjoined at the head, a rare condition.
- The girls underwent a 24-hour separation surgery at 10 months old.
- The mother credits faith and taking each day as it comes.
In 2019, a mother of three received life-altering news: she was carrying craniopagus twins, conjoined at the head. This incredibly rare condition affects one in 2.5 million births, with a slim chance of survival to delivery.
Despite the overwhelming odds and fear, the mother and her husband, Anatoliy, found strength and chose to embrace each day. Four months later, an MRI offered hope, indicating a possibility for future separation.
The delivery itself was a massive medical undertaking, involving over 200 professionals. After being born, the twins, named Abigail and Micaela, were whisked to intensive care.
