Twin girls who were born as triplets but are joined at the
head and share a skull may soon be separated in a life-changing
operation. Their mother, Siti Nuryaningsih, actually gave birth to
triplets but the two girls who have been named Nadira Alifa Putri and
Nadiba Aisyah Putri, were conjoined sharing a skull but not a brain
while their sister was perfectly fine.
They were born late January & delivered by Caesarean
section at the Tanjungpinang Regional General Hospital in Indonesia.
Their Parents are now waiting for an operation that will hopefully
separate their daughters, allowing them to lead a normal life.
According to their father - Mr Juarnes Prana Dinata, 'The
doctors were shocked at birth when they realised it was a triplet and a
conjoined twin as well. I am glad that all the babies are healthy but I
am really looking forward to their separation. It is really difficult
for me and my wife to see them like that.'
The girls have been referred to the Cipto Mangunkusumo
Hospital in Jakarta, where doctors have asked their parents to exercise
patience until the babies gain weight, in order to perform the operation
needed to split them up.
