Conjoined Twins Are A Medical Miracle | BORN DIFFERENT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2018
- CONJOINED twins Callie and Carter Torres continue to thrive together - despite expert doctors giving them just 24 hours to live. Callie and Carter were born attached by their pelvis area, sharing all organs from the belly button down and having a single leg each. The girls, who reside in Blackfoot, Idaho, are described as omphalo-ischiopagus twins that make up less than five percent of conjoined twins throughout the world. Still to this day, just 40 to 60 percent of all conjoined twins manage to survive past birth. But with their second birthday approaching in the new year, Callie and Carter’s health continues to improve, much to the delight of parents, Chelsea and Nick Torres.

These girls are so sweet!! I was conjoined my self and got separated! I’ve met these girls they are amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️
wait what?
The fact that your RUclips name is ‘Herrin Twins’ and you Said you used to be conjoined has me believe you are one entity controlling 2 separate bodies
I am so glad you guys got to meet them. I pray that when the time comes if they decide to separate them, that you guys will still know them and be able to give them guidance. You two are amazing. It was funny to hear you guys say that you were glad you got separated. I get it because you never had your own space, no alone time and two different personalities. You girls are beautiful both inside and out!
Giovanna M thank you!! Yes and if they do decide to separate i hope i am still in touch with them! It will be so cool seeing what they will be doing with their lives!! ❤️❤️❤️
They will never be able to be separated
Just beautiful how the mum makes the clothing for them. What sweet parents taking care of their kiddos.
What a stupid decision
I live in Driggs which is very close to Blackfoot. I just want to see this family & give them a hug & tell them what amazing parents they are. God bless this family. God bless the girls to have a long life. I know it will be a happy one because of the parents they have
Did anyone see the conjoined twins Abby and Brittany? They turned out to be teachers and they also drive. Anything is possible. They are conjoined just like these twins.
@@Mataylor17 Abby and Brittany are grown different. They have half of the body each. These girls have a separate upper body.
yeah but the way these two are conjoined, itll be hard for them to walk upright when they get older, theyll definitely get back problems
kabirwabe
oh sehun yeah I don’t think they are going to be walking, most likely they will be forever in a wheelchair
XXX. Vedeo flim
I love how mom sews two diferent colored/patterned shirst together. It gives them a little individuality.

Awww. Having twins is something that is close to my heart because I have them. I understand what the mother went through in her pregnancy. I am a mother without both my legs. I remember when I found out I was having twins, I was super happy. Later at 23 weeks I had complications. We rushed to the hospital and they were able to deal with my complications. I was ordered to be on strict bed rest and I gave birth to them at 30 weeks. I cried almost everyday because I was so scared I may lose them. These poor parents went through a lot. Only them they can understand what it was like. I am so happy the baby are doing well
Neo KirchBaby new sub! #900!
Your children are beautiful!
Neo KirchBaby koo
god bless the kids
Me to
So happy for these little girls that they are loved just the way they are by both parents and of course, their big brother. He seems to adore them and you can tell he is going to be the protector of the girls. Wish your family nothing but the best in life.
The thumbnail is so sweet. They look like a mirror image of each other. Definitely a strong family unit which is extremely important.
Ne vdd
I love that she dresses them differently.
سبحان.الله
Ikr, like individuals
@@arianelenzke9218 I know, hope it didn't come off as if I was mocking them. I genuinely was making a point of how they are individuals hence them being dressed differently
@@origamiunicorn3474 c.f.
origami unicorn shut up that was rude!!
Love the fact that this family takes the time to show each child has a unique personality, down to the different clothing! Phenomenal parents!
bam bam "get out of my face", "i cant" ❤ so precious
Bless and keep that sweet family. They need all the support available and I pray they can get it.
They’re cute little kids, but when they get older it’s gonna be so much harder for them. I just really hope they’re not in constant pain.
Cute 🤔
Yes. Cute 😊
I cannot imagine why she did not opt to terminate the pregnancy when it became clear that not only are they conjoined, but unable to be separated.
Mag Nificent why in the world would you terminate it
Mag Nificent Because they were people in the womb just as they are people now.
People stare because these little ones are unusual and interesting and most people are people watchers. Absolutely no one has a right to make nasty comments about them.
Donna Woodman we do about the parents though. They are responsible for their suffering.
Sarah Smith I do not believe the parents are to blame, it is the imperfection every human being has that is passed on to their children. Every parent wants perfect children but no one gets them, they get sick from one thing or another.
*Writes nasty Comment*
Sarah Smith What an idiotic comment
Don't people stare at all babies
As long as they are being loved and they know they are loved that is all that really matters . They seemed to be getting healthier which is great. Parents are doing a great job.
Those girls are so precious, bless them and their loving family
Awwwwwwee! Oh wow! If I saw them out and about in a stroller I'd probably beg to hold them. They are like 4 leaf clovers. Living life to their fullest when others pass away. It would be like holding a miracle. I'm totally in love with them.
♡♡
Yea... I get what you’re saying but don’t beg to hold people’s kids lol
Chelsea Johnson Me either. Even though I always want to. 😭
You're kinda creepy
@@jameelhoward1867 thank you.❤
This reminds me so much of Abbey & Brittney Hensel who are conjoined just like this with 2 heads & 1 body and They are functioning even better than some people who aren't conjoined so I believe these 2 littles ones will be just fine, also btw they are so adorable! 😍❤
Amber Lucille I actually like them better than these things.
They are teachers now. They turned out great.
Abbey and btittney are primary school teachers now :)
Crystal R....it is very cruel, as well as pathetic and ignorant. Simply ignore such nasty comments for it gives them a high, which is so sad.
Those two are awesome!! I hope they update the public soon on how they’re doing
My biggest concern is back issues for them. Seeing how I needed corrective back surgery.
ReikageSanshi They may need spinal surgery at some point. That would not be unusual.
I laughed when they said they weren't ready when the girls came home. I have twins who aren't conjoined that were born seven weeks early and we were beyond not ready when they came home after two weeks in the NICU, so I can't imagine what they went through. Beautiful little girls.
When I was younger I used to be very scared or creeped out to watch conjoined people because I just wasn’t used to it but now that I’m older I’ve came to an understanding of how people are different and I respect there parents and them💞
I wish them a life of wholesomeness and internal peace.
my sister has the same profile picture as you in her discord profile and im confused and stuff
Okay! Those two are the greatest parents alive, i really wish for them a happy life with their kids💖
My first reaction to this was-
“AW MY GORD THOSE CHILDREN ARE SO CUUTE”
I still feel the same way ❤️
These are two individuals who deserve to live. The parents are totally committed to giving them the best life they can. Obviously life will certainly be challenging for them but no one can know what potential lies within them or what contributions they may offer to the world. The Hensel twins are amazing and love life. These little girls should have the same chance. People have posted that they should never have been born but they certainly don’t look like they or their parents would agree with that!
Poor girls, it’s cute and a miracle now but when they get older think of all the difficulties they’ll have to endure. No individual relationships, no privacy, resentment towards others or jealousy (its only natural), medical issues, health complications that could be fatal to both of them since they are conjoined. If they separate soon they could have a chance of a “normal” life like their brother even if it means taking a risk hundreds of other people born like this have done and come out as successful patients who live independent lifes. The parents said they could have surgery if they chose to so there must be a way for them to separate.
M. M. It don't have to be.. Give it a rest!!
Watch the video on Abbey & Brittney Hansel, they are conjoined like this with two heads & one body & are functioning just fine. They just got their first real job as teachers which is the career they wanted. Its really inspiring!
Theres no way they could get separared, they share one pair of legs and private parts
they can't be separated...it would mean that one would literally be a torso and the other one could possibly have the lower body, but that would cause a lot more issues between them obviously.
sally smith
Well, actually, in the video, they explain the reason they didn't want them to be separated was because the twins would have more health risks than they already do. And they would only allow it if a health situation were to arise where they would need to be separated or if the twins wanted to be separated later in life. It's totally my opinion but i think that is a good decision.
The best big brother ever !!
Thank you for sharing. Especially showing what a daily routine is like. You're wonderful parents. Your children are beautiful and thriving.
To them, nothing is wrong. I love that! I pray that God gives the parents and all the family, the strength and love they need to continue being the best parents they can be for the twins. I hope they don't listen to bad comments from others, because the twins are obviously very healthy and happy. That's all the matter. God will work miracles on the twins. Just keep showering them with lots and lots of love ! Don't ever give up on them. God is watching and He will never leave you or forsake you. Amin
So much respect for this family!
I’ll be praying for them 🙏🏼❤️
I love seeing miracle babies. My baby is a miracle baby too. He was born at 27 weeks years ago, and is healthy and very strong. I thank God and the Lord for saving us, and for everything. Amen
Doctors are amazing!
The mom, dad and older brother are amazing! What a wonderful family!
I hope they live the happiest life possible!😍
Me too
They probably won't, as soon as they go to school they will get bullied so much.
Also, when one of the twins dies, that's not going to be happy at all.
May they both live for many more years with healthy lives
I absolutely can’t imagine spending my entire life stuck to someone else. Never being able to go anywhere alone, have a private interaction, date, fall in love, get a separate education or job... I hope they continue to be happy and healthy as they age.
Same !
You mention falling in love: There's a famous case of conjoined twins, two boys, who grew into old age and both married different women. They just shared two houses. They would move between the two so each could spend time with his wife.
I CAN,just so you know. It's more like,being happy you're never alone,only interacting with each other and each other alone even in public,never dating,falling in love with each other deeper every day,never doing separate things...Everything and every moment is to be shared and to be done together...FOREVER...
Nothing is wrong to them NOW, but what are you guys going to do when they get older? What if they aren't happy living? I guess you will have to wait and see.
Isn't that the point of letting them choose?
Hello Ronnie and Donnie Galyton (?), thought to be the oldest living conjoined twins, are the same type. They walk together, have no interest in being separated, and are fine with dying together.
What do we do when able bodied people are unhappy? Pretty sure everyone on this planet has trials and tribulations that we must overcome.
there are surgeries to seperate conjoined twins
Did y’all notice the one name is callie and the last name is Torres just like Callie Torres of greys anatomy
OMG YES😂
Kemari Williams that’s probably where they get their names from
Kemari Williams ones name is carter the other Callie
that’s exactly what i was thinking!!
Yessss
I like that the parents share realistic normal answers and fears
is no one going to point out that one of them is named CALLIE TORRES??
greys!!!
“Welcome To Holland” essay is really appropriate
here. All the best to whole family ❤️
“I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this......
When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland."
"Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy."
But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place.
So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.
It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around.... and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills....and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned."
And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away...because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss. But...if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland.

An amazing analogy. Perfect and brilliant!
Poor babies inagine when there in school, and get in a argument
What's inagine?
@@TheHawkBubble oh thx i meant imagine
*they’re
if you continue to think of them as poor babies then theyll start to think so too,about themselves. They can live a happy life but its gonna be a lot of challenges,it does not help them by people shaking heads and saying"oh poor children" . If you meet them,go up to them and say hi girls,dont take pictures to put on social media,they are not some objects to talk funny about. They are gonna do well if we accept them as they are.
@@mrsTraveller64 Yeah They are miracle!
Great parents! Beautiful family!❤
They're beautiful little girls. I love how you make their clothes for them that is really awesome. Best wishes to your sweet little girls and your family.
You guys are so strong to live through this. They are absolutely adorable, and unique. No one is perfect, everyone is different in their own way. People like you inspire people like us, keep doing what you do :)
Poor babies.... given a hard life...wish them the best .. as adults it's gonna be very hard for them...
@Release us from the Matrix I have a twin and it's torture. I can't imagine being conjoined, and I certainly can't imagine people thinking I'm happy just because I'm loved.
They can be removed from each other.
@@ryleighhunt8946 lol how
@Greg They share their organs from the belly button down. I don't think they're separable.
Their life might look hard to us, but that's all they've ever known.
I don't think anyone not in their shoes could understand, I certainly won't pretend like I do, at all, cause I can't.
But to them it's just normal. People are amazing at being able to adapt, and they can still be very happy.
this heartbreaking but beautiful! thank God they decided to keep these angels,May he continue to watch over them and continue to give the parents the courage and strength to care for these beautiful babies.
I hope you get all the support in the world to raise these two.
God bless them. As a mother myself, seeing how much love the parents have for them is veeeery veeeeeeeryyyyy touching. And calming to know they are being taken care of with love and responsibility.
Those babies are beautiful!!! Thank you for having the courage to stick to your gut and keep you babies!!! ❤️❤️
The story’s that this RUclipsr posts have changed my life
Anyone Wondering what it would be like when they grow up, check out Carmen and Lupita. They're conjoined and have their own yt channel. I love watching their videos.

i don't want to be cruel but ive seen a documentary of two adults who are conjoined like this, one has to wheel the other around on a table top with wheels because they are unable to support the weight of both of them to walk - it looks like a living hell. its cute now because they're babies but they're going to suffer greatly as they get older...
And
likeastarbaby those girls are doing fine though
@@TheSpinaBifidaLife we are definitely not talking about the same people.
Yeah...Its called parasitic. which it also seems in this case the right child is the one moving and sitting up as if those were her legs while left is immobile just laying and hanging. I cant imagine having to lug around another half of a person my entire life... poor lil girls it'll be a living hell
ㅋ
I pray for all the happiness and love for these beautiful babies ❤️❤️❤️
Bless that Mama for breastfeeding her girls! That gave them the absolute best beginning
Thank you for sharing your beautiful girls story.
This is so close to my heart because I have twins that are two months old and they are my joy and world ❤️ I don’t know what I’d do without them. They are honestly miracle children as I’ve had two miscarriages before them. So just seeing these two little angles warm my heart ❤️. Like even though they are still going they are both so beautiful and so unique. I loved this story ❤️!
I mean hey, you guys stuck together as a happy family! God bless and keep pushing forward, all the best 🙏
Stuck together ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
God has nothing whatsoever to do with any of this.

Omg what is the carseat situation? How do they do that?
Omg I need to know!
Yesss
I follow them on Facebook they had a special car seat made for them.
Ikr I was totally thinking that
Their Facebook page is Beating the Odds With Callie and Carter.
It's 1 am. I have to "wake up" in 5 hours, and yet here I am sobbing my eye balls out. They are such cute kids and I wish them all the best! ❤️❤️❤️
Please stop with some of the negative comments. These dear babied are here for a reason. Don’t discourage these good parents....pray for everyone! Just try to not project your fears. Offer hope...we all need hope.
Lots of love and prayers for this wonderful family 💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏

@@EvolvedJewel lmao
@@Tom-qj9oi P op pop o
God forgive me for saying this, i would've terminated my pregnancy if i was in that situation. It'll be really hard for them growing up. And if one of them gets severely sick and dies the other twin will too
Bob Bobfrey excuse me what? I’m sorry, but these twins seem happy and lack irritation with them being conjoined and don’t seem to even be bothered nor notice. They don’t need medication, and there are conjoined twins of the exact same kind who just recently got hired to be teachers, who are also in good health.
I feel like you’re underestimating what these girls are capable of, as well as over exaggerating their hardships. I try to respect religion, but if your only excuse for these girls to not live and enjoy life is “god wouldn’t want this”, you need some better back up, bud.
Also, God let them live with no medical needs. That’s something, ain’t it?
BxChicc77 They say that god creates all of us and that he doesn’t make mistakes. If he exists and created them, I find that extremely cruel.
@@crsmith9988 You find that extremely cruel huh?
Why?
What's so Cruel about it?
He Created you didn't he???
There were those conjoined Iranian twins that begged to be separated. They were joined at the head and died in 2003 after having an operation to separate them.
I remember that. they hated each other. They wanted rather be dead than to be jointed in this way
Why do the parents give birth when they know such a case exists? In the future the kids have to suffer. It's really sad
its not sad. they wont suffer. it may be a struggle more so than an average person but many many conjoined people and their families have lived wonderful happy lives. theyre not sad only you
Strawberry Kit-kat but you cant know how these kids will be in a few yers or when theyre teens, they might be miserable
+Saint Jimmy yeah and neither can you say they wont be happy. who are we too say what really might happen and thats just it 'might'. youre looking into someone elses life you dont even know. lets just live in the moment day to day and be postive and do things we like and try new things and love ourselves and each other
I honestly don’t blame these parents for being afraid of separating them. The reality is that with how joined they are that one or both of them very well could die. Separating twins is a risky thing and the odds that both twins would survive separation isn’t great. I don’t think most parents would be able to live with that decision. There were two twins separated here in the US recently. They just turned two and were joined at the skull. They shared skull and dura. People talk about medical procedures like separation like it’s an easy thing or a no brainer, but the reality is that a lot of severely conjoined twins die.
I'm a twin .....I can not imagine living conjoined...it will be difficult for them to walk face to face?

When the baby started crying hurt me that's just never mind I just pray they'll be great and awesome when they get older God bless them beautiful ladies.....
I love these parents. Full of so much love 💕
These people collect a lot of _Nightmare Before Christmas_ memorabilia.
Parents seems very humble
God most definitely wants all babies alive...Callie and Carter are so precious 💛💛
i hate how people say “god wouldnt want them alive” if that were the case why did god make them in such a way? i hope these two ladies are forever happy with all the love they get. 💖💖
i dont believe in god, bu they do so i said it. no nees to be a debby downer dude.
@Karen Reed So how would nature make them this way? It's not like if this is something that happened afterwards. They were born this way...
It's because man worked against nature. I guarantee she had medical intervention during the pregnancy. Nature would have had them die.
BlueYellow&Green because god didn't spawn conjoined twins in her stomach, it happened naturally lmao
Beklynne Tenbroeke good didn't make them that way. They are like that cuz they are both fatasses and poor sax
These girls are such a miracle❤️❤️❤️ they are so adorable❤️❤️
this family is adorable
No words to express my feelings,how adorable they both are and the family support they are getting is so touching.Anybody else at their place could have lost all hopes..
amazzzzzzzzziiiiinnnngggg🥰🥰
They are so cute. And their brother seems helpful. You guys look like a happy family and that's all that matters.😇
They are so adorable just the way they are
These babies are the most beautiful girls! Lots of love for them and their family
you could see the love. these parents have for all their children. God bless them. ...
I hope they will live happy without any troubles ❤️❤️
God will take care of them trust in the Lord
The split outfits are so cute 🥰 I hope they are both doing well 🥺
For those with "concerns"..As you are not their Parents, nor these children, you have no concerns, so I suggest you not voice them...
This whole family, including the dog, is fabulous! ❤️🥰😍❤️
Loving them, and doing what is best for them are two different things. They will not remain tiny and cute forever. Do what is needed medically now while they are young for the future. Mom and dad will not be young and energetic forever. These children cannot remain on their backs...
They can't separate them as they share the same blood supply flow if they do they'll die
@@manuigill7998Ok... I guess I misunderstood the video. I thought that the mom said when they are older and want to seperate, she will allow it, but she hopes they will love themselves as they are.
Manui Gill From what I understood, they can be separated but it's very risky because of the complications and illnesses it could cause. They don't want to do it unless the twins say they want to be separated because they currently have no health issues and are perfectly fine so there's not really any reason to do it. I am curious though as to what would happen with their legs since they only have one pair, as well as their entire bottom half.
Karen Reed Of course they'll have struggles but based of of other conjoined twins that have lived long and happy lives (and had even more problems than these twins), there's a good chance they'll do the same. They're healthy and happy as of right now and I definitely wouldn't call that child abuse.
@Karen Reed so allowing their children to live is child abuse? There are many conjoined twins who live life just fine so if anyone is cruel & selfish its you for talking about them in such a thing about these girls
Awee they're so sweet and precious 😍
Wonderful parents. God Bless them. Provide for them and may He continue to Grant them wisdom as they raise these precious children.
They are such fxcking beautiful precious babes 💜🥺✨
Those parents have my respect for not terminating that pregnancy cos they look so happy too! ✨
Bless you guy's, you both seem to be wonderful parents, I wish all 5 of you a wonderful future 😘🙏💖
Честь и Хвала Родителям что не отказались от детей с такой патологией, а Девочкам Огромного,Крепкого Здоровья!
А зачем было отказываться, если можно было сделать аборт? Конечно, секс и романтические отношения обещают быть просто грандиозными, с одной вагиной и двумя разными мозгами. И, конечно, они заведут романтические отношения и замуж выйдут, ага.Это будет ад. Когда они смогут осознавать себя. Есть хотя бы те, кого нельзя разъединить, но они мобильны, могут путешествовать, жить независимо и т.п.
these girls seem amazing and i truely do understand the concerns when it comes to separating them. sure they have mostly seperate torsos with their own hearts and stuff but if you were to seperate them how would you do it? would you give them a leg each? what about the lady parts, like would one just not have any? separating these kinds of conjoined twins is risky, one or both could die. I believe that you are making the right choice by not separating them as they will probably both have a better quality of life like this as they function like normal people, just sharing a bottom half. I also agree that if in future they want to get separated then its a decision they need to make and understand all the risks that come with it.
Honestly kudos to these parents who made a difficult decision and seem like such loving and kind people
God bless you and your precious family! U are blessed and they are beautiful!!
What a beautiful loving family, amazing parents and the best big brother ever
I wish them much happiness 💕
I thought the thumb nail was split screen then I saw conjoined Twins
Me too. And it kind of looked like that one mirroring video/photo effect of mirroring.
Praying for your girls to stay healthy and your family to be blessed
They are so precious, God bless them and their loving parents and brother ♥️
They are so cute! I can just imagine when they're a little older one getting REALLY mad at the other because one did something stupid and both of them had to be in time out for it haha
