This is so sad,I have seen this little girls story on the Discovery Health Channel. My thoughts are with her family...


"Shiloh Pepin, who was born with a rare condition called sirenomelia, also known as "Mermaid Syndrome," died Friday at age 10 at the Maine Medical Center near her Kennebunkport home.

Sirenomelia is almost always fatal in newborns. But Shiloh defied doctors' expectations."
