Gita Rezakhanov before the operation. The History of Zita and the Gita of Rezahanov

The history of Zita and the Gita of the Rezakhanovs - the twin girls that have grown together - is an illustrative example of a real struggle for life. They had to endure a lot, but the difficulties did not break them, but only tempered the character and willpower.

Siamese twins - two with one body

Previously, fused in the womb of the mother's children were a phenomenon, now it is difficult to surprise. How do Siamese twins really look and why are they so called? The whole point is that in the embryonic period the development of some babies goes wrong. In this case, identical twins may not fully separate. Then they will have common internal organs or parts of the body.

The very name came from the boys born in the beginning of the XIX century - the twins - Eng and Chang. They were born in the city of Siam (modern Thailand). Children have grown together in the waist. Laws at that time were severe, and they could be completely deprived of life, but the kids miraculously survived. Subsequently, these Siamese twins gained worldwide fame, even were married, and they had their own children, who were born without special pathologies. In 1874, Chang died in a dream, and after a while, Ang died.

The birth of Zita and the Revelation Gita

In 1991, fused girls were born in Kyrgyzstan. These children were also a rare species of Siamese twins - ishiopagami. They had three legs for two and one common pelvis. The kids were named Zita and Gita in honor of the heroines of the eponymous Indian film, which at that time was very popular among the people. The doctors could not give any guarantees that the girls would live long.

However, their mother - Zumriyat - did not abandon her daughters, although she was very upset and did not know how she would cope with all this. Neighbors behind the back were gossiping about why she had such strange children. At that time, the woman was only 24 years old, and on the hands, except for the newborn, two more kids. She began to pray to God that he would keep them alive. Subsequently, Zumriyat gave birth to another daughter and found new strength in herself, in order to inspire hope for the best in the souls of her girls. Thus began the story of Zita and Gita Rezakhanov.

Life of Siamese twins before "separation"

Mother wanted that daughters did not have a sense of loneliness and abandonment, therefore, using all opportunities, tried to make their life the same as other ordinary children: playing and walking with girls, engaged in the development of sisters. They began to walk early, to speak, quickly learned to read. Zita and Gita Rezakhanov in their childhood were cheerful and positive, very affectionate.

Only one circumstance with time began to weigh on the sisters: they wanted a "separation". The girls loved each other, but dreamed of a full life, when everyone has their own body. At the age of 10, they asked God to hear prayers and help them achieve what they wanted. Zumriyat saw their experiences and sent out letters around the world, where they could help the twins. The sisters' father also supported and did not abandon the family when a disaster came to the house.

Operation of the "separation" of Zita and the Gita

Helping sisters came from Russia: Elena Malysheva suggested that the mother show the girls in her program "Live Healthily". The transfer was attended by doctors who agreed to do everything possible for the Siamese twins. In 2003, they were put in a Moscow hospital named after NF Filatov, where doctors carried out the most complicated operation to "separate" children. Zita and Gita Rezakhanov before the operation existed in one body, and after it each of the sisters had one kidney left. Calo- and urine receivers were taken out.

In Russia, they stayed for 3 more years, because it was necessary to undergo a long rehabilitation course and learn how to walk again, because now they had one leg. Gita Rezakhanova was more active and active than her sister, but it did not stop them from getting along well with each other. The "divided" Siamese twins needed to get used to the idea that in some ways they still could not be like other girls: wearing tight-fitting dresses, dancing.

A difficult period in the life of sisters after rehabilitation

After the "separation" of Zita, to maintain a weakened body, it took several more operations in foreign clinics. It was also necessary to purchase better and more convenient prostheses. All this required large amounts of money, which the mother of girls literally begged from the Kyrgyz authorities for lack of money. About who Zita and Gita Rezakhanov, as "divided" girls, gradually became known to many people. The philanthropic organizations of Russia helped greatly in this time .

At the same time, a question arises concerning the training of sisters. They wanted to get medical education. Zumriyat wrote a letter to Dmitry Medvedev. He said that girls can enter the Moscow Medical College for free, without taking the entrance exams. But later they were refused this privilege. Zita and Gita were very worried about everything that was happening. Sisters found it difficult to accept that they could not realize themselves in this way. And they began to get the idea that they could never have children.

The fulfillment of the second dream of Zita and Gita

Zumriyat as could struggle with depression of the daughters. She talked with them, gave illustrative examples from the lives of other people with disabilities, and then realized that her girls need faith. Over time, a source of comfort was religious literature, which Zita and Gita Rezakhanov loved to read. The nationality of the sisters is lezginka, the main religion of this people is Islam. The sisters asked the mother to give them to study at the Muslim school - madrasah.

This helped the girls to find their way in life, not to be embittered by physical imperfection, but, on the contrary, to remain as light and open to others. After one of the broadcasts, "Let them talk," the sisters performed their second dream. Gita Rezakhanova, as well as her sister Zita, had the opportunity to visit the mosque in Grozny and in the future to perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca - the religious center of Muslims). They were helped by Ramzan Kadyrov, the president of Chechnya.

The role of mother in the life of sisters

Zumriyat admits that she had to go through a lot of things, so that the girls were happy and found themselves in this life. She did not abandon them when the twins were born with such a defect. Without support, it would be difficult for them to cope with everything. Sam Zita and Gita Rezakhanov, how they "shared" them, how they nursed after a difficult operation, remember and are infinitely grateful to their mother. After all, she constantly supports the belief in the best in them, advises to endure the problems that have arisen without losing optimism.

Of course, when Zita and Gita Rezakhanov before the operation had a common body, and the girls were difficult to move about, doing some household chores, Zumriyat was just an indispensable helper for them. However, after the operation and as they grew older, the sisters began to understand that one must learn to do many things by themselves, since my mother, unfortunately, is not eternal.

No more Zita Rezahanova

The health of the girls left much to be desired. In 2013, Zita's condition began to deteriorate sharply. The girl had to take strong pain killers in order to be conscious. In 2015, she was diagnosed with pneumonia, as well as with kidney problems. Gita Rezakhanova was very worried about her sister and tried to stay close to her, because Zita gradually weakened.

In the same year on October 19, Siamese twins celebrated their common birthday, and on October 29 Zita was gone, and yet she was so anxious to live. She had a stressful ulcer, which was complicated by bleeding. At the time of Zita's death, it was 24 years. Gita Rezakhanova had a hard time bearing the loss of her sister. It was difficult for her, but she found the strength to live on, to continue her studies, although the girl's health is also far from ideal.
