hi, baby. jadon has come a long way. he s moving, talking, back, nicole says, to his pre-surgery self. jadon is now even more rambunctio rambunctious, and he loves everybody. like he smiles at everybody. he wants to play with everybody. he s got 900 girlfriends on the tenth floor. he s out of control. anias has not come as far. it s okay. nobody s here to touch you but me, in a nice way. no pain. when you understand what s happened in the last month, you ll understand what s going on here. anias is sadly still shy and reserved, but now has this fear component because every time people approach him that aren t our family, it s a pain thing. anias continues to fight
of twins like this and consulted on 20 others around the world and was one of the toughest operations he says he had to do. one thing to point out it s difficult to say in terms of the long-term impact. they re worried about motor strength for example because these children have been lying on their back. they haven t used motor strength. they haven t met the milestones that kids up to age one typically meet. that s going to be a concern. the next 72 hours will be overall survival and then weeks and months after that will give you an idea of the long-term impact. i got it say, watching these boys come out of the operating room back into icu and seeing the parents reaction was really, really powerful. christian, father, when jadon came up he said my boy. that s significant because he always said my boys before that.

dozen operations. sweet boy. a result he hopes for with jadon and anias, and there s no time to lose. if you don t get them separated by 3, you ve kind of lost that window. the mcdonalds know the clock is ticking. are you my little munchkin? but just looking at their twins, this he appear to be thriving just the way they are. laughing, singing, even fighting over toys just like all siblings do. i know. anias is playing with it. for nicole, they re perfect. they looked at me like their mother. they they reached for my face, and they they did everything a baby that age would do, except they were stuck. they were individually perfect, and i knew that cutting through
