With the help of GMA Kapuso Foundation, a pair of conjoined twins from Maguindanao del Sur acquired skilled consultations.
According to “24 Oras,” Friday, Deia and Issa’s mother and father couldn’t assist however really feel frightened after they came upon that their twins had been joined collectively.
“Minsan po nakikita ko sila na nag-iyak, nag-iyak din ako kasi ano, syempre, masakit din sa’kin,” the twins’ father, Sultan Abdullah, stated.
[Sometimes, I see them crying, and I also cry because, of course, it’s painful for me too.]
They didn’t lose hope in having the twins separated, in order that they traveled all the best way to Manila to hunt assist.
GMA Kapuso Foundation instantly assisted the household to see a pediatric surgeon, the place the twins underwent a number of laboratory exams.
“Ang kanilang puso o ‘yung ventricle, ‘yung lower chamber ng heart niya, ay talagang magkadikit, fused. So wala silang separating point kung paano. Talaga pong very complicated ‘yung case na gagawin na operation. Baka isa magkaroon ng problema, ikamatay pa ng isa o dalawang babies,” Dr. Beda Espineda said.
[Their heart or the ventricle, the lower chamber of their heart, is really closely joined, fused. So, they don’t have a separating point. The case is really very complicated for the surgery. There might be a problem, leading to the death of one or both babies.]
He also explained the situation to the parents.
“Isa ang masasakripisyo, ano?” he said. “Base dun sa aming MDC or multidisciplinary conference, lahat na ng specialty nandoon, nag-agree kami na isa na ‘wag na naming ituloy ang operasyon.”
[One will have to be sacrificed, right?” he said. “Based on our MDC or multidisciplinary conference, all specialties were present, and we agreed not to proceed with the operation.]
“Mas gugustuhin ko na din po ‘yung hindi sila mapaghiwalay po. Kesa naman po sa hindi natin alam ‘yung mangyari sa kanila ‘pag pinaoperahan na,” the twins’ mother, Jedana Ati, stated.
[I would also prefer that they are not separated. Rather than not knowing what might happen to them after the operation.]
Once they return dwelling to Maguindanao, a health care provider can be taking care of the twins’ situation.
“Maraming salamat sa mga doktor po na tumulong po sa amin, sa mga anak ko, sa GMA Kapuso po, sa naging daan po kung bakit po kami nandito,” Jedana stated.
[Thank you very much to the doctors who helped us, to my children, to GMA Kapuso, for being the reason why we are here.]
