A baby born with four legs and two spines, but to be more specific the two extra legs were on the baby's neck and back. After the risky surgery, the baby is expected to live a normal life. In Dominique's case, the bottom half of her twin's body stuck out from the base of her neck and back, leaving her with two extra legs near her shoulders. The legs and spines were too much mass for her and that caused her to not be able to do the things normal babies can do. Like, turn over and sit up and all those types of things. When the baby was transported to the U.S, a nice family offered to care for her. Dominque will go through rehab and will be sent back to her family in Africa next month. In my opinion, they should've transported her with her family. What do you think?
I agree with you. I think that Dominique should have gone with her family. Also, that must be very rare to have extra legs and a spine. Dominique was very unlucky and I feel very bad for him. I wonder how he is doing now and I hope he has the support that he needs.
ReplyDeleteI agree that her family should've been with her through the process. I read that her recovery went well and she is doing amazingly. The sad thing is that Dominique's twin won't make it because of the undeveloped parts. It is sad that these deformities happen but I'm glad that Dominique is okay. She is supposedly going to have a normal life but I wonder if she will be handicapped when she's older. How long was the surgery process?
