In our world where magic is bound by the confines of reality, it really is special to encounter a miracle every once in a while. Sometimes they present themselves when all seems lost, teaching us that nothing in life is certain, and everything can change.
That was certainly the case with Siamese twin sisters Abby and Erin Delaney, who were born in 2016 joined at the head.
Doctors gave then a five to 25 percent chance of survival, but a good deal of luck and cutting-edge medical technology combined to create a true miracle.
And looking at these precious babies nine years after that risky surgery, it’s hard not to smile…
When Heather Delaney and her partner Riley discovered they were expecting a child, it was a pretty big deal for them. The couple, who met each other when they were just kids, visualized a happy future for their little family.
Soon, Heather found out she was expecting twins! So, with the support of her beloved husband, they prepared themselves for welcoming twins and everything that comes with that.
Unfortunately, Heather’s pregnancy proved to be a rough ride – one made all the more difficult after it became apparent that her babies’ heads were conjoined.
When they got the news from the doctors, the soon-to-be-parents froze.
“We were stunned,” Heather told People. She continued: “It was awful. But we knew in that moment we would go through the pregnancy no matter what. I just didn’t think it was my place to decide if they lived or died.”
