这是我在两姐妹接近四岁时正装打扮参加一个慈善晚会前拍的合影。盖比的医疗费用惊人，当地一个慈善组织慷慨相助，并把双胞胎姐妹封为该组织的外交小大使。

Little Michele and Gabbi, almost 4, get their portrait taken before a fundraiser for a charity which helps Gabbi with her medical cost. The twins were appointed Little Ambassadors for the agency.

搖晃嬰兒綜合症 (摘自维基百科)

簡稱搖嬰症或SBS,是因嬰兒受到持續搖晃而對其腦部產生的損害為一種兒童虐待。

搖晃嬰兒綜合症的成因是由於嬰兒腦部發育仍未穩固,當受到強力搖晃時,腦部組織容易受到撞擊,而出現血管撕裂及腦神經纖維受損。這種症狀的後遺症包括頭痛、頭暈、失憶及影響智力,嚴重者因腦部有大量微絲血管爆裂,引致腦部大量出血,可導致癱瘓甚至死亡。

Shaken Baby Syndrome

Serious brain injury from the forceful shaking of a baby or young child, was first identified by researchers in the 1970s.

Violent shaking-often brought on by a baby’s crying, can rupture the delicate veins around the brain, causing bleeding and swelling and build-up of pressure. In severe cases, shaking causes brain damage, blindness, seizures, paralysis and, sometimes, death.

Symptoms include respiratory distress and unconsciousness, and, in milder cases, vomiting, irritability and sleeplessness.
