Being those twins in surgery for 4 days itself is a miracle and to survive at 11 months old.

Ben Carson served as an advisor to the team, so cool. One of the sisters passed away seven years later from meningitis. 😔

Player #18390045, I'm sure the parents thanked their God many, many times! I know I'd be thanking a higher power along with all who participated cuz it truly is a miracle what can be accomplished when you have faith in something and/or someone!

Darla J, Ben Carson, an amazing man, humanitarian and physician. The first to separate twins conjoined at the brain. His autobiography ‘Gifted Hands’ is beautiful. My Mother gave it to me many years ago as a gift. A friend who worked with Dr. Carson in the OR got it autographed for me.
Then, unfortunately, Dr. Carson got into politics.
