عملية جراحية مدهشة (توجد صورة)

Quote: Separation Date: August 7-8, 2006 Separation Location: Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah Surgical Team: Dr. Rebecka L. Meyers, coordinating surgeon; Dr. Michael E. Matlak, pediatric surgeon; Dr. Daniel Evans, and Dr. Simon Durcan, anesthesiologists; Dr. Faizi Siddiqi, craniofacial surgeon; Dr. Bradford Rockwell, plastic surgeon; Dr. Patrick C. Cartwright and Dr. Catherine R. de Vries, pediatric urologists; Dr. Alan K. Stotts and Dr. Peter M. Stevens, pediatric orthopedic surgeons; Dr. Keith White, pediatric radiologist, and a support staff of over 30 medical professionals. Status: The surgery began at 7:15 on Monday, August 7, 2006 morning and lasted well into the next morning, throughout which time the girls did better than expected. Doctors divided the girls' shared liver, separated their intestines and reconstructed their pelvises. Other Information: The surgery was historic in that it was the first successful sepration of conjoined twins who shared a kidney, which remained with Kendra. Maliyah will require dialysis as she waits for a transplant. (It is expected that her mother will donate a kidney for the transplant.) Eventually, both girls will receive a prothestic leg.

Quote: August 09, 2006 Well, the girls have just been as stable as can be. The nurses said their vital signs have followed each other, like when Kendra's heart rate goes up, so does Maliyah's. So we know they still have a huge connection, it's just not physical anymore. Courtney got to see them yesterday. She did so well and was so strong. But later that night she cried about missing them the way that they were. We told her that it was ok to feel like that because we did too. But we said that they would be able to do more with her once they got better. She asked that I give her a blessing so she would be comforted and she seemed much better after I did. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. We have received thousands of email over the past few days, so hopefully we will be able to read each one fairly soon. These last few days have probably been the hardest days of our lives, but at the same time they've been the happiest.

Quote: the girls are still doing excellent. The Doctors are very pleased. Hopefully they'll be off the ventilators in a couple days and start waking up. We are the most proud and lucky parents in the world to have 5 of the most beautiful children in the world. Thanks to everyone for everything, the support and response is just blowing us away and I know without a doubt that without all the prayers things would have never have gone as well as they did

Quote: August 25, 2006 12:52 PM Everything's going great. They will be getting ready for the girls to leave the ICU, probably on Monday. We moved the girls back together last night. Maliyah is doing even better today. She has been playing quite a bit. She isn't saying much, so she may be having a hard time getting adjusted to everything. That's ok though, she can go at her own pace. We know she'll get through it, she's so strong. She won't have to have dialysis today and they will start transitioning her to dialysis 3 times a week. Kendra is just a little cheese. I've never seen a little girl so happy considering what she's been through. I think she will help Maliyah more than anyone. Justin and Austin have colds, so hopefully they don't give them to us. But they are doing really well.
