So I was watching TLC and I found out about this little girl Shiloh Pepin. She was born with what is called "Mermaid Syndrome" and has only one leg. On the show, her parents contemplated on whether or not to give this 8 year old surgery and make her have 2 legs...Shiloh didn't want to get her legs separated because, like any 8 year old, she was afraid. Her parents let her make the decision to not separate her legs.
I just want to applaud Shiloh, who is a very brave and courageous little girl. Despite the fact that she was born with one leg and has to go through A LOT more than other people do, she is still smiling and continues to move forward. Also, she is very intellectual, and speaks in a mature tone.
I also want to give recognition to her parents, who were faced with a lot of hard decisions. I'm glad they actually decided to try dialysis to keep her alive. the dialysis paid off, and Shiloh is still living now.
Here is a video of Shiloh and only a piece of her life...
