Eight-month-old Faith Mwampe is set to undergo a potentially lifesaving operation to have the horrific deformity removed while her 18-year-old mother, Mercy Lenganji, waits anxiously, the UK’s Daily Telegraph reports.

But good of the government to help out too. I wished American Government would help that woman in Florida with the massive oedema on her leg. I saw it on TV recently....the bottom part of one of her legs is so hideously deformed with a growth bigger than her waste.....she has people bandaging it hoping to squish all the fluid out.....not good enough, I feel.

Title: Re: Parasitic Twin Post by: caskur™ on January 27, 2009, 09:27:19 am i am not familiar w/ that case-i'll check around later today/ this evening I tried to google and bring the subject up thinking it might be a news item somewhere. I didn't find anything. I was slack and should have got her name first but as usual, I watch the information programs while I am on the groups....that leads me to only picking up half the information sometimes... |
