Erin Faith
Born as a conjoined twin and separated on June 19, 2004. Erin suffered spinal cord ischemia (stroke to her cord) sometime during the surgery, leaving her paralyzed from mid-chest down. It is a blessing that she survived the surgery and the stroke, and she is truly a gift from God.
Jade Hope
Jade is Erin's identical twin sister. While she outwardly seemed to have the most complications during the separation surgery, she deals with very few long term affects of being conjoined. You will likely find Jade running to get somewhere, and she keeps us laughing with the things she says. Jade is another gift from God!
Taylor Joy
Taylor is our sweet girl who truly is a Joy. When she was 3 years old, we found out that she had a tumor at the base of her spinal cord. It was exactly one year after her sisters' separation surgery. This spinal cord lipoma, while benign, was wrapped around her spinal cord, completely enmeshed with her nerve roots. The tumor was tethering her spinal cord, and Taylor was losing function in her bladder, bowel and right leg. During the first surgery, they were able to remove approximately 60% of the tumor. Her cord became retethered almost immediately because of scar tissue, and Taylor had her second surgery in September of 2007. We are fairly certain her cord is retethered again, but because the risk with each surgery on her spinal cord increases exponentially, Taylor's neurosurgeon wants to postpone another one as long as possible. We now weigh the risk of losing more function from her tethered cord with the risk of losing function from the surgery. There is a fine line. Despite all of this, Taylor maintains her positive attitude and has a very sunny disposition. We could not be more blessed!
About Me
- Buckles Family
- Stafford, VA
- Jade Hope and Erin Faith Buckles were born on Thursday, February 26, 2004. They are true miracles who have beaten the odds. Conjoined from mid-chest to naval, the girls shared a pericardium (sac around the heart), diaphragm and liver. Their hearts shared a small electrical connection and beat in synch. Erin's heart was 60% in Jade's chest. These beautiful babies were born to Marine Gunnery Sergeant (now Master Sergeant) Kevin Buckles and his wife Melissa. They were also welcomed into this world by their brother, Kevin Jr., and sister, Taylor Joy. Erin and Jade were successfully separated on Saturday, June 19, 2004. They returned home on Friday, July 2, 2004, just 13 days after surgery. We later learned that Erin suffered a stroke to her spinal cord that left her paralyzed from mid-chest down. The damage occurred at the T3-T7 levels of her spinal cord. The injury is considered incomplete, so we have great hope for at least some recovery. Taylor Joy was diagnosed with a tumor on her spinal cord in June of 2005, and she has undergone 2 surgeries since then to try to preserve her ability to walk.

Good job Jade!
Yay Jade! :)
Good Job Jade :) I may have missed it, but hopefully if Erin hasn't already lost her first tooth, hopefully it will be soon :)
I guess I saw the photo fo Erin pulling out her first tooth and forgot about it... (How could I forget such an important time? ;0)
Have a good weekend

Как говорилось на Seexi.net У меня не было отца, живу с мамой 22 года. Правда, был отчим, но недолго (мне было лет 4-6). Я его называла папой без задач, но потом они с мамой разошлись (он пил). Один раз он стоял с ножом, я и мой брат (его сын) сильно испугались. Но я про это уже, в общем-то забыла. Но даже в садике, когда была влблена в мальчика, боялась с ним заговорить. Наверно, део не в отце... Не знаю. Ещё в нвчальной школе я много читала, даже журналы, вот помню историю про малолетнюю девочку-проститутку. Ещё в другой газете (типа спид инфо или же что там было) рассматривала картинки голых женщин. Блин, может, я начиталась любого, где мужчина выступал как убийца, маньяк, насильник, в следствии этого их боюсь? К слову, мне по вечерам как раз страшно ходить по улицам.
Но не в этом дело. Как в мужчинахперестать видеть источник опасности? Я реально их боюсь. У меня какоё-то сдвиг. Смотрю на мужчину и не вижу в нем просто человека, а вижу самца, что ли. Как будто он только и мечтает меня тр**нуть. Понимаю, бред, как избавиться от этих мыслей???????? И говорить я с ними не могу. Только в случае в случае если я не воспринимаю их как вероятных ухажеров, то нет задач. А с более-менее симпатичным - всё, ступор...((( Кстати, у меня еще есть дядя, так его я также буквально каждый день стеснялась..
