A miracle in Melbourne

I wake up every morning with TV news, and it’s rare that I hear ‘Bangladesh’.  When I do, it’s usually some bad news — natural disaster, political turbulence, you know the drill.  This morning I work up with a different kind of news about couple of Bangladeshi girls.

Krishna and Trishna are nearly three-years old conjoined twins who were found in a Bangladeshi orphanage and brought to Australia two years ago for medical treatment.   For the past 26 hours, a team of surgeons at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital have been operating to separate the sisters. 

The girls were given a 25% chance of survival at the onset.  But according to the media reports, doctors are optimistic about the orphans.  the operation has succeeded.

Thanks to the wonders of medical science, folks at Children First Foundation, and everyone else involved in this saga, Krishna and Trishna may have a life.  But it’s not assured yet.  Please pray (or appeal to your sense of spirituality) that the miracle in Melbourne endures.

    I know. Isn’t it fabulous!!! Such a heartwarming story. I feel especially touched as the girls are from my own country of birth. Hats off to the CFFchair Moira & the Doctors!
