A ONE-year-old girl with a fast swelling head passed away just days after doctors discovered a foetus that was once her twin sister growing in her skull.

The toddler was admitted to hospital due to her growing skull and inability to sit up or stand

She also had delays in motor skills and speech development, only able to say “mum”.

After scans revealed that the baby girl’s symptoms were cause by a feotus – which had a spine, organs and fingers – growing in her brain, neurosurgeons removed the embryo from her skull.

But the one-year-old passed away just 12 days after the surgery, as the damage to her brain was too severe.

Her incredibly rare condition is known as fetus in fetu (FIF), or parasitic fetus, occurring in about one in 500,000 births.

It’s a rare developmental abnormality in which a malformed fetus is found within the body of the other twin – usually in the abdomen.

But foetuses have also been found in other unusual locations, such as the skull, pelvis and mouth.

Less than 200 cases have been reported in medical literature.

The condition is nearly 100 percent fatal when it occurs in the head, Xuewei Qin and Xuanling Chen, study authors and anesthesiologists from Peking University International Hospital in Beijing, China, wrote in the American Journal of Case Reports.

“FIFs remain a mystery, and their causes and mechanisms may be related to environmental pollution, genetics, low temperatures, pesticide exposure during early pregnancy, and other factors,” they said in their report of the girl’s case.

The condition tends to only be spotted in the later stages of pregnancy, making early diagnosis challenging.

In the one-year-old’s case, doctors detected abnormalities in her head when her mum was 33 weeks pregnant, during a prenatal examination.

But the MRI couldn’t provide any further information. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The little girl was delivered via cesarean 37 weeks, as she was in breech position – meaning she was lying feet first in the womb instead of the usual head first position.

Even then, doctors noted that her head was abnormally large.

“Upon birth, the infant’s head circumference was larger than that of a child of the same age,” case report authors said.

When she was admitted to hospital at a year old, she couldn’t sit up or walk and “could only raise her head slightly”.

The only word the one-year-old could say was “mum”.

She was also incontinent and had poor motor skills in her hands.

Though her height was about 70cm, her head circumference was 56.6cm.

Doctors performed a CT scan on her skull, which revealed “soft tissue, limb-like bone, and mixed bone tissue shadows in the intracranial area”.

It was decided the girl would undergo a craniotomy.

Surgoens discovered a “white capsule” in her brain tissue – upon opening it, they saw “a finger-like limb protruding from its opening”.

“We removed an immature embryo, with visible vernix and organs, such as the mouth, eyes, fetal head, fetal hair, body, forearm, hands, and feet,” the case report authors wrote.

The embryo was 18cm long – it had malformed features and limbs, as well as long bones and a spine.

Sadly, the little girl remained unconscious after her surgery and suffered seizures.

She died 12 days after the procedure.

Doctors made a shock discovery when treating a baby girl for stomach pain last year – left stunned to find she had her unborn twin inside her tummy.

We need to be careful in what we eat and not only physically, but also spiritually and psychologically. If we eat healthy food physically, we will have a proper growth and development, and our body will be supplied with good ingredients for its normal functioning.

But, we also need to be careful what we insert into our bodies. Sometimes people accidentally swallow something they shouldn’t. This was not the case with this drunk man.

Per reports, the surgeons were stunned when they needed to remove a steel cup from a man’s stomach, which they believe was initially inserted into his ‘behind…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

An unnamed man was reporting stomach pains for several days and no treatment seemed to work, despite seeing multiple doctors, according to The Post. He then saw Dr. Lal, who did an X-ray and discovered the cup inside him. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The man was then rushed to surgery where surgeons successfully removed a cup the size of a hand from what appears to be an incision in his stomach.

According to The Post, video shows the procedure which begins with one doctor cleaning the stomach area before carefully removing the silver cup with the bottom of the object facing up. Medical staff appears to be in disbelief as the surgeon holds up the tumbler for the camera.

The man, who works as a laborer, has recovered well, according to reports. The medical professionals have hypothesized that the cup reached his stomach after being inserted up the man’s ‘behind’. Doctors said the man got extremely drunk with three strangers after returning from a grocery store, where he had gone to get vegetables. By the time he sobered up, the unknown people were not present, and doctors aren’t sure if the man shoved the cup up his rectum himself or if he was assaulted.

“We know without a shadow of a doubt, our baby is with Jesus,” Corrie added.

Corrie says that her daughter’s name means, “God’s Thoughtful Princess,” and that is exactly what Sadie was. She was the perfect princess, the best reflect of what her name embodies.

“And she really was that—always expressing gratefulness and love for God and other people. She would light up a room with her smile; she walked with a skip in her step. I’ve never met a more joyful child who loved God with all her heart.”

Sadie’s father, Tracy Andrews, said that he’s happy, appreciative and grateful for the three years that he along with their family got with spend with their precious Sadie, and reflected on the many lessons his daughter was able to teach him about life and love.

“She taught me about being happy and loving life and loving people,” Tracy said. “At 3 years old, there’s no preconceived notions. To her, everybody was good. She didn’t see the bad. She just loved people and it didn’t matter what they did.”

Lance and Kara Latham are the owners of Bruster’s Real Ice Cream, the shop where Sadie tragically drowned on Saturday. They released a Facebook statement on Sunday, extending their deepest condolences for the family’s loss. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“As the owner of the Auburn Bruster’s, our deepest condolences go to the family of the child who tragically died Saturday. They are acquaintances of ours and have been regular customers. We are truly heartbroken that this happened. Our thoughts also are with our young crewmember who tried to revive the child. Like all of us, he is quite shaken. The entire Bruster’s family is horribly saddened by this tragic accident.”

They encouraged others in the community to continue praying for the Andrews family.

Sadie’s uncle, Chad Vermillion, also organized a YouCaring campaign on the family’s behalf.

“The body of Christ is powerful when we act together and if we can help alleviate their burden let’s do so,” Vermillion wrote in the fundraiser’s description. “Above all else, please pray for my dear sister Corrie and brother-in-law Tracy. The pain is insurmountable right now.”

Corrie says God used Sadie the morning that she died, to prepare the mother of six for the grief that lay ahead.

Sadie was attached to a blanket from her grandmother, that she slept with every single night. On Saturday morning though, Sadie put the blanket in a bag and told her mom that she no longer needed it, and wanted to give it away.

“Looking back, it’s as if she knew she wouldn’t need it anymore.”

One thing is certain, Sadie Grace brought more joy to this world in her three short years than many of us can fathom in our entire lifetime. She exuded the love of Jesus, and her family takes comfort in knowing that she is Home with Him now.

Praying for peace that surpasses all understanding, and healing for every single person whose life was touched by this beautiful little angel.

She wanted to leave her husband, but she felt trapped because she didn’t have the money to file for a divorce. Instead of finding another way out, she made a terrible decision that changed everything.

On August 31, 2022, Melanie called 911 in the early hours of the morning. She told the police that an intruder had broken into their home and shot her husband while they were both asleep in bed.

However, as the investigation continued, she admitted that she had bought a handgun from a pawn shop. The police also found a pillow and blanket with bullet holes on the floor, and they discovered a .38 Special handgun hidden under a bunk bed in another room. These clues made it clear that Melanie’s story about an intruder wasn’t true. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Eventually, Melanie broke down and confessed. She admitted that she had shot her husband. She explained that she had been unhappy in their marriage and wanted to end it but felt she couldn’t afford a divorce. In a moment of desperation, she made the tragic choice to kill him instead.

Melanie was originally charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action, which could have led to a life sentence. However, she made a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. Because of this plea deal, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison instead of facing a much harsher punishment.
