:: OKU

punya 4 kaki dan 4 tangan


gambaran rangkanya

:: berkaitan OKU di atas ni... kesian betul... dah 2 tahun menderita dan dengan keterbatasan pergerakan terutama bagi kanak2 seusianya... menggerakkan hati keluarganya untuk melakukan pembedahan... agar anak dari darah daging sendiri itu mampu berperanan sebagaimana kanak2 biasa... usaha diteruskan selagi terdaya dan di dalam kemampuan.

:: keadaan ini berjaya mengimbau dan mengimbas kembali kenangan lama... kisah silam... suatu ketika dulu... sekitar 46 tahun lalu... seorang bayi lelaki... sorang sedara terdekat telah dilahirkan yang cukup sifatnya... cumanya ada sedikit kelainan pada kakinya... namun kini telah menjadi lelaki berjaya... berkerjaya... punya rumah tangga bahagia... dan dikurniai 3 orang cahaya mata... penyejuk jiwa.

BANGALORE, India (AFP) - A two-year-old Indian girl separated from her conjoined twin regained consciousness on Friday, two days after undergoing a gruelling 27-hour operation in a Bangalore hospital.

Lakshmi, born with eight limbs, was also taken off the ventilator in the intensive care unit at Sparsh Hospital, to which she had been attached after the completion of the surgery Wednesday, chief orthopaedic surgeon Sharan Patil said.
"She looks cheerful," Patil said. "All her health parameters continue to remain stable."
"She is also able to open her eyes and move her fingers and toes slowly," added Patil, who led a team of 36 medics in the operation, the first of its kind performed in India.

Lakshmi's parents, from a remote district in the eastern state of Bihar, were allowed to spend about 15 minutes with her on two occasions on Friday and were happy to see her conscious and recovering from the surgery, said the doctor.

The girl, born with four arms and four legs, had the extra limbs removed in the operation after having been born fused at the pelvis to a "parasitic twin" that stopped developing in the womb.
She had absorbed the organs and body parts of the undeveloped foetus, a condition that occurs once in 50,000 conjoined twin births, requiring the rare, risky operation.

Doctors said the girl would have been unlikely to live into her teens with her condition.

Lakshmi was brought to Bangalore by her parents Shambhu, a manual labourer from eastern Bihar state, and Poonam, for the surgery. The hospital bore the cost of the operation, estimated at 2.4 million rupees (about 60,000 dollars).
