Which one was mom advised to abort?

Really. Can you tell?

One of these cute little boys was the victim of an attempted abortion. I don't blame the mother. Her doctors had her convinced that one of her twins was much smaller than his twin. They also told her that the reason he was so small was because he had an enlarged heart. So, considering what the doctors had said and considering the possiblity that both babies could die if the weaker one had a stroke or heart attack in the womb, she consented to abort the weaker baby.

She wanted both babies.

The doctors tried to sever the umbilical cord. They couldn't do it--too thick.

The doctors tried to divide the placenta. The baby continued to survive. Turns out, messing with the placenta redistributed the nutrients the babies were receiving. The failed abortion saved the baby's life.

The enlarged heart returned to normal size.

Eventually, these two handsome, little boys were born. They are always reaching out to each other, comforting each other, and holding hands.

Amazing! That was one baby with arms bigger than this world wrapping around him, protecting him.

Wow, that is something. I bet that twin is destined for some type of greatness, since he had to fight so hard to get here.

NFO:
Yes, He does.

Mrs. G:
That was my thought. It is amazing that he is now the bigger twin, too.

I thought it was a testament in resilience and that we all have a reason for being here. :)
