Young couple from Pennsylvania, USA, has taken probably one of the most difficult decisions in their life: not to have their conjoined twins surgically separated because of the danger of such operation.
Barely one-month-old twins Andrew Donovan Lee and Garrett Lee Donovan Stancombe share the same heart and liver, which makes the separation surgery very risky: the possibility of death of one or both twins is high. Actually, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, medicine has not witnessed cases where twins with hearts joined in the same way survived the operation.
Boys' mother Michelle Van Horne told CNN's affiliate WTAE:
"It would hurt us to lose one and have the other. They were born together; they can stay together."
Despite being unique babies from the medical point of view, the little boys are living an ordinary healthy baby life: sleeping, crying and eating.
The mother of two said that for her the most important thing is to know that her sons are with her and to hear them cry.
