When you’re blessed with twin babies,
your foremost reaction will be tears in your eyes thanking god for his
wonderful gift. Unless of course you already have a set of twin and this
is the second one in which case you may go crazy and end up boners in
the delivery room.
Well!! For Peggy and Jeff Kehoe, it was a
dream comes true when this mom delivered identical twins. The couple
became proud parents of two beautiful twin girls Hailey and Jenna. Both
twins were identical all blonde and blue eyed and it seemed like that
was a picture perfect moment for the couple and their bonny babies. It
was a wonderful life for the family until one unfortunate day.
1 A cruel turn of events
Both Peggy and Jeff were proud of their
twin daughters who shared an inseparable bond with each other. Both
girls grew up to be healthy and beautiful until on eventful day on Feb.
9th 2013 when Peggy’s life was turned upside down. At the time the girls
were 12 years old.
She was shocked out of her wits to see
Hailey lying on the bathroom floor. The girl had her eyes closed and her
words slurred, her actions and movement were epileptic and disabled.
Peggy was horrified, what was happening to her daughter.
Doctors gave up hope
Hailey found the pain in her head
excruciating and was crying too. Both Peggy and Jeff suspected something
was very wrong but they weren’t geared up to realize how wrong it could
turn out to be.
When Hailey was rushed to emergency,
doctors diagnosed her with a large brain haemorrhage causing somewhat of
a stroke. Doctors were inclined to give up hope and preacher was called
in to console the couple and Hailey’s twin sister. Peggy was afraid her
daughter would die.
Jenna would not let Hailey give up, she needed her
Jenna was almost inconsolable. Hailey
was her soulmate. How could she be taken away from her at such a young
age? She needed her. She held Hailey’s hand imploring her to fight and
pull through but Hailey had fallen into coma. According to Peggy, Jenna
was constantly by Hailey’s side speaking to her, she needed her sister
to recover because she just couldn’t live without her.
Despite the presence of the preacher,
Peggy refused to give in. A critical care transport crew by the name
Life Lion then flew Hailey to the Penn State Hershey Children’s
hospital. Doctors requested the couples consent to perform a critical
surgery on her brain. The pressure exerted on her brain by the
haemorrhage needed to be relieved immediately.
Finally a miracle
Although this Mom had delivered
identical twins who seemed well and healthy, little did she know that
one of them Hailey was actually born with a disease called AVM or
arteriovenous malformation? The life threatening condition tangled blood
vessels connected to arteries and veins. If Hailey’s condition wasn’t
rectified it could be fatal or she could suffer lifelong.
After surgery was performed on Hailey,
She did wake up and her entire family attributed that to nothing short
of a miracle. They were extremely thankful. Watch the inspiring video of
this little girl in the below post.
