Operation Successful


The mammoth operation proved to be a success story! Lakshmi's four additional limbs were successfully taken out. Dr. Sharon Patil has declared that Lakshmi is sound and stable,and that her parents can visit her in a while.

In India it is the first time that the doctors are operating conjoined twins.Way to go doctors! Lakshmi's parasitic twin was attached to her pelvic. If not for the operation, Lakshmi could have survived only till her adolescence.


"Every step of it was successful," Patil said of the operation. "There was no set back what so ever. The team worked through the night relentlessly."


Lakshmi is now closely monitored by a team of specialists. Lets keep praying for this child who has bravely fought for her life.Hope this Diwali would shower Joyous Blessings for her and her family, and of course on the doctors who made this happen!

Hats off to the Indian Doctors !

Meera signs off and WISHES EACH AND EVERYONE A WONDERFUL DIWALI!
