Tonight on National Geographic starting at 9p they are telling the stories of two amazing girls. At 9p it is the story of
The Girl Who Cries Blood. “Twinkle spontaneously bleeds from her eyes as well as her head, hands and other body parts — though there is no visible source or injury to explain it. Some say a bad omen has been cast, others think she is possessed, and yet others think it could be self-inflicted. Hoping for a breakthrough, Twinkle and her mother put their faith in a top American blood specialist who is flying to India to investigate her extraordinary case.” Twinkle’s story is so interesting and sad because the doctors don’t know what causes her to bleed, but even without an answer Twinkle and her mom still stick together and remain strong. Hopefully one day they will find out why she suddenly bleeds with no signs of injury.
After Twinkle’s story is told, it is time for Jyoti’s
The World’s Smallest Girl at 10p. “At age 15, Jyoti is about the size of a 6-month-old baby, at 12 pounds and 23-and-a-half inches tall. With weak, breakable bones, she has sustained a number of serious injuries, including fractures to both of her legs that prevent her from walking normally. A top orthopedic surgeon believes an operation to fix her legs is possible, but the family isn’t sure modern medicine is the answer.” Her story is so inspirational because even though she is just 23 inches tall she has the personality of a giant. She does not let her injuries or size keep her down. Plus the way her family makes her feel like a normal little girl is so encouraging.
So tune into the National Geographic starting at 9p for two amazing stories about two teenage girls who overcome their unknown medical illnesses.
