Mermaid syndrome

Milagros Cerron celerbated her second birthday in Peru on April 27th. Milagros was diagnosed with sirenomelia, often referred to as "mermaid syndrome," at birth and underwent an operation last June to separate her legs, which were fused to the ankles. For most, the syndrome is fatal, but Milgaros seems to be developing very well, considering her condition. An additional surgery is scheduled for late May to separate the remaining attached portions of her legs. Many additional surgeries are needed to continue her development and aid rehabilitation.
