He led a team that separated conjoined (\u201cSiamese\u201d) twins. To our knowledge, nothing like that had ever been attempted in Ethiopia. Dr. Frehun Ayele, who trained as a pediatric surgeon at the BethanyKids at Kijabe Hospital PAACS program after graduating from the general surgery program in Ethiopia, led a team of surgeons from Myungsung Christian Medical Center to perform the incredibly delicate and complicated operation. The baby sisters were born at a health center in the countryside and were abandoned by their mother. They were given to a Catholic mission group here who then brought them to MCM. One of the twins had a severe, fatal heart defect and it soon became clear that she could not survive. This made transfer abroad impossible because of time considerations, so Frehun made the difficult decision to take them to the operating room to separate them. It was clear that one of the twins would die, sacrificing her life for her sister&#8217;s. Dr. Frehun concluded that if he did not intervene urgently, both babies would die. The surviving twin, Mariam, is doing well. Please pray for her as she recovers. We praise God for Frehun&#8217;s faithfulness in serving Him as he serves the sick children of Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_956\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-956\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soddo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/frehun.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-956\" alt=\"frehun\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soddo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/frehun-300x213.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frehun Ayele watching the preparation of the two children prior to their separation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_957\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-957\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soddo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/frehun2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-957\" alt=\"frehun2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soddo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/frehun2-300x251.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Conjoined twins at Myungsung Christian Medical Center were lovingly cared for<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, the very first graduate from the PAACS program in Ethiopia did something unique in his own country.
