Mermaid Girl Loses Her Battle

I was browsing for the latest updates on mesothelioma treatments when I saw the news report about Shiloh Pepin's death. She's that feisty 10-year old girl featured at TLC suffering from a rare condition called "mermaid syndrome" also known as sirenomelia. According to news reports, she had been hospitalized in critical condition for nearly a week and died last Friday. A lot of people around the world were touched by her story including me.

To Shiloh's parents, my deepest condolences to you. May God give you all strength to bear this loss.
