It's cool how committed both of them are instead of just the mom. You see all these supermoms doing it all by themselves and it seems like for once the dad also wants to help.

For once? This makes me sad to here, my husband is a very involved father as he should be and almost all the dads I know are just as involved in their kids lives, sad that some don't expect this. My owm dad was always there but not very hands on with housework and parenting really but it's sad that this is still the case and worse for many.

CHOP is an amazing hospital. My youngest grandson was actually born there because he needed to be put on a ventilator immediately. He was in the highest icu for 4 weeks. For his first 2 weeks he had 2 nurses with him at all times. The care was phenomenal. I am forever grateful for the care they provided. I am also so grateful that we lived in the Philly suburbs. Our daughter lived with my husband for a month before the birth. I lived in CT to take care of his older brother. The whole family moved down to Philly for the month he was in the hospital. What a blessing.

It was just yesterday that I googled the Altobelli girls and didn't find any update on them. Today KZbin presents this video. I've watched their separation video and were so glad they both survived, but worried if they were ever able to live without a ventilator, let alone the trache. I'm very happy to now see them thriving and running around, no wires, tubes or trache. They seem so happy and lively despite everything they went through. The parents did a great job and so did the CHOP. All the best for the future of the twins and the whole family, including the cute new little baby sister Mila. ❤

Truly a miracle, these little girls are beautiful. So happy for this family! My first sonogram with my 3rd pregnancy revealed twins, at that time they were positioned head to head. It took another sonogram to confirm they weren't conjoined, (thank God!). I still worried though if I could carry twins, I'd had two pregnancies before and no problems with either. The twins were born 4wks early at 4 & 5 lbs. But they were healthy and got to go home with me after 1 week.

My son was born with a heart defect and his first few years were really tough. I also had a really rough delivery. I’m pretty sure if it was the old days, we both wouldn’t have survived. Today he is a healthy 28 year old man! I also have another son and his birth was so easy even though I was extremely afraid at first due to my first. Having a child with issues really does change your perspective on things. Nothing matters if you don’t have your health.

Shame on you, what a terrible, insensitive, thoughtless thing to say to these parents. You were probably blessed with healthy children and never had to face daunting challenges like these parents have. They have two little ones with major medical conditions that restrict what they can physically do and it was imperative that they found ways to engage their developing minds.

@@gailcreighton5484 it’s that she said that she wondered how her parents brought up children without devices. My comment was in response to that comment. I’m not judging her parenting and special needs kids do need special parenting. My comment was intended to be a general comment on children doing better without devices and the current evidence supports that.
