| Conjoined Nakuru Twins Die at Kenyatta National Hospital |
It is supposed to be a mother’s day weekend yet one woman is
at loss in trying to figure out the death omen that visited her this Saturday morning.
Kenyatta National Hospital Nairobi has confirmed that the conjoined twins born
in Nakuru died this Saturday Morning.
Earlier, Doctors and specialists had indicated that the
twins shared body organs and therefore could not be surgically separated in any
way. The y both shared sexual organs, liver, kidneys, heart, bladder, kidneys
and rib cage. They also had three hands and two separate heads and two legs.
Kenyatta National Hospital Chief Executive Officer; Richard Lesiyampe said that doctors worked hard and
explored all avenues in trying to save the lives of the two twins, but all was
in vain.
The Mother to the twins; Evelyn Omodho had gone to Rift Valley General Hospital for
normal child delivery: hoping that one of her twins would be a female and the
other male. Evelyn who is a small
business woman at Ole Nguroine (in Rift Valley) was however shocked to have
delivered conjoined twins. After delivery, she was immediately referred to Kenyatta
National Hospital for further follow up.
‘I want to sincerely thank all the Doctors and Specialists
who were involved for tirelessly working in trying to save the life of my
little angels. They honestly did their best, but God’s will prevailed. These
Doctors are very friendly. I have never seen such doctors who are always ready
to help. May the Almighty God reward them. May they live long to serve others
in our beloved country’…….Evelyn Omodho (The Late Twin’s Mother).
‘We thank them for they did their best. Other Doctors and
nurses should emulate them’..Gilbert Tum (The Late Twin’s Father).
Decision Times Kenya wishes the family, friends and
relatives of the twin’s strength and courage as they go through this tormenting
moment. Surely, God has a reason for letting things happen. We may never
understand his intention, but we’ve got to trust in his will. Poleni sana and
be strong.
