Macey and Mackenzie was born in December 2002, along with their triplet sister Madeline who came out 5 minutes after her twin sister. They are one of the rare types of triplets, which is the second known case in the world of conjoined twins in a triplets.
Macey and Mackenzie were fused at the pelvis up to the rib cage. They shared some organs and had 3 legs. Meanwhile Madeline was born 100% normal and healthy.
The biological mother of the triplets, who had drug problem, could not provide sufficient care for them even during the pregnancy and never have proper antenatal check-up. The babies were abandoned after they were born and fortunately, within a week, a couple, Jeff and Darla Garrison, came and adopted these 3 adorable babies.
A risky 24-hours surgery was done in September 2003, when the twins were 9 months of age. Both of them were successfully separated and each one of them has 1 leg.
Besides having one leg and has to rely on prostheses, other comorbidities they suffered from include the need for colostomy, liver and renal condition, spine problems and etc. However, they are able to face all these hurdles and challenges and able to lead a healthy, beautiful and active childhood as any child should have, with their new family by their side, Jeff and Darla Garrison and their 3 biological boys.
