Mermaid Girl

Did anybody watch this show on TLC?

What an amazing family. It is obvious that these parents really love their daughter and want the best for her. I can't imagine the joy and heartache they have gone through. And that poor little girl with all of those medical procedures! Despite it all she seemds like such a happy little girl. I really hope that this little girl is able to have a happy/healthy future. It must be so difficult not knowing what the future will bring for her.

I watched it last night, but I've seen the show before. She is so mature for her age and has such a great outlook on life. I am very curious about how they would go about the leg separation surgery. What a mess of veins she had in the lower section of her legs.

I have feeling her father is right and they won't separate her legs. With the way her feet are twisted, I would doubt very much she would be able to walk and it sounds like an incredibly risky procedure for her. Plus, she seems happy with the way she is, at least for now.
