Parasitic Twins

[StoopTroup]

I never heard this term before...usually Co-joined.

Anyway...a very risky surgery and a heart breaking little girl...

Hope she makes it through OK.

She's putting her best foot forward.

Good luck to her.

parasitic because it's not a viable twin.

Is that really her name? Cool!!! I guess she was born into the right culture.

MSNBC:

Lakshmi is named after the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth, and some in her village in the northern state of Bihar revere her.

“Everybody considers her a goddess at our village,” said her father, Shambhu, who goes by one name. “All this expenditure has happened to make her normal. So far, everything is fine.”

Others sought to make money from Lakshmi. Her parents kept her in hiding after a circus apparently tried to buy the girl, they said.

Lakshmi is the one they named her after

Kali is the one Indy says you meet in Hell ;)
