Rosie and Ruby Formosa, two conjoined twins from Kent, UK, have overcome great challenges to do well. Their story is a powerful one of hope and strength. When they were born sharing a gut, it didn’t look like they would make it, but they did and are now happy, healthy girls.
Angela, their mother, remembers how sad it was when she found out they were related when they were 16 weeks old. Her words, “It was the worst-case scenario,” are true. “Doctors warned of slim survival chances, and I feared the worst.”
Since Rosie and Ruby were monoamniotic, which means they shared the same amniotic sac, they needed treatment right away at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital. The difficult process worked, separating them and giving the family a second chance.
After four years, the twins are ready to start school. They can’t wait to meet their teacher and the other twins, Lilly. Their parents are so proud of them, but they know the house will be empty without them.
This touching story is about how the girls overcame hardship. Rosie and Ruby’s story gives us hope and joy, from a dangerous start to a bright future. We’re happy for them that their lives are going well and wish them the best.
Their amazing story shows how good doctors are, how much parents love their kids, and how twins can’t be separated. Spread happiness and inspiration by telling this story to your friends and family.
