Deepak Paswan

Hi guys.. I have something for you to read. I watch about this 7-year-old boy on TV and he's from India. He was born physically special - he had a parasitic twin. This kid's name

 

is Deepak Paswan.

Deepak means 'light' in Hindi and according to Wikipedia, parasitic twin means two embryo did not successfully separated with each other in the uterus and one of the embryo maintains the dominant development.

He grew up having his parasitic twin joined to his chest and he often had trouble to act like the other normal kids in his village. He couldn't run as fast as those kids who shared the same age with him. Some villagers even claimed that he was an evil that he would bring bad luck to his family but according to Deepak, his twin's name is Baby and he loves his twin. So cute, right???

However, Deepak's health was in danger because the parasitic twin is growing up along with him just like other parts of the body and its taking Deepak's nutrients too, just that it doesn't have a life. But if he continues like this, his future might not be as bright as a normal person could have - it might be a burden.

So the news about Deepak's twin was heard by the doctors in India and they saw his picture saying that a surgery might be possible for him because he was still alive up until today. They even offered to do it for free.

I think the doctors kinda sees hope in changing this kid's life forever because most parasitic twin wouldn't survived as long as Deepak does. He then travel for hours for more than one time to visit the far away hospital.

During one of the visit, the doctor was supposed to scan through his body to determine the rate of success in the surgery but the doctor said that they can't see it. (idk why). Doctor said: only when we start operating and see whats inside then we'll know whats inside.

So Deepak's family went home after that day's visit only to discuss with their family members if they should continue with the surgery. It was a tough decision because they may risk losing Deepak's life too. Deepak was scared too and he knew something is gonna happen to his Baby. After all, they decided to let him undergo the surgery.

During Deepak's suregry, his parents were really worried because they have no idea of what is to happen to their son. They cried so badly and the nurses tried to comfort them too.

Finally, after a long operation, Deepak is fine and his twin is removed forever. His family were really happy and Deepak can now run faster than his siblings which he never succeed before.

Look at the smiles in their faces :D

And look at how free he is :D




I think he's a strong kid because although he was born different from other people, he still loved his twin and still managed to be alive - living with normal people in his surrounding.

He's amazing, ain't he?
