(Ps, i'm waiting for the reply .. I hope he even replies!)
Because i just watched a documentary in Okto channel, whatever the spelling is, you get my meaning. Anyway, the main point is about this girl - Shiloh Pepin
Known as Kennebunkport's “mermaid girl,” Shiloh was one of only three known
survivors of sironomelia or Mermaid syndrome, in the world. She was born with
only one partially working kidney, no lower colon or genital organs and her legs
were fused from the waist down.
Her parents, Leslie and Elmer Pepin, were told their daughter would live only days. But Shiloh defied the odds. She received her first kidney transplant at 2. That one lasted until she was 5 and following two years of painful dialysis, Shiloh received her second kidney transplant in 2007. After that, she was able to put on weight and grow stronger. She seemed on the path to recovery
But earlier this month Shiloh's mother, Leslie, said her daughter came down with a cold that quickly turned to pneumonia. She was rushed to Maine Medical Center on Oct. 10. As bacteria swept through her body, doctors quickly placed Shiloh on antibiotics and a ventilator.
