Louisville, Kentucky. It was just a few months ago on June 11th when Charla cook and her husband Logan attended the anatomy scan to see how the little girl Charla was carrying was doing.

Charla and Logan already have three young children between the ages of 21-months-old to 8-years-old, and they were in for quite a shock when they were told that Charla was pregnant with two girls instead of one.

Things only got more complicated from there when a follow-up ultrasound revealed that Charla and Logan’s twin girls are far closer than expected…they’re actually conjoined.

Unfortunately, nobody had realized this until it was too late into Charla’s pregnancy to give her and Logan many choices for proceeding with the pregnancy.

“The best thing the hospital could offer was the option to terminate within 4 days,” a GoFundMe page created for Charla and Logan explains.

“Not giving them enough time to ethically process what they had just found out or not giving them time to find surgeons that could help their twin girls.”

“Now in the 5th month of pregnancy, they are scrambling to do whatever they can to help their baby girls survive and have a chance at life.”

The odds of Charla and Logan’s twins having survived for this amount of time are literally astounding, and aside from the fact that they are conjoined, the girls are otherwise quite healthy.

Charla and Logan expect the twins to come at the end of September or the beginning of October, and after their arrival, the family will need to be hospitalized for several months.

Charla and Logan diligently met with tons of doctors and hospitals to figure out the best course of action for their girls, and they did finally find some hope.

“…After going to multiple hospitals and meetings with several professionals we have received the hopeful news that the team of doctors in Florida are willing to try separation if all goes well with the evaluation once they are born,” said an update on the GoFundMe page.

Both girls will require multiple surgeries to separate them, and so Charla and her husband are hoping that they can raise the much-needed money to help cover the costs of the medical bills for their twins.
