Shiloh Pepin Mermaid Syndrome!

PICTURE! Here again is a photo of Shiloh Pepin “Mermaid Girl” who suffers from Mermaid Syndrome. Shiloh Pepin’s Mermaid Syndrome TLC story that LALATE first told you about in December is rebroadcasted tonight.
Shiloh Pepin is a girl with Mermaid Syndrome or sirenomelia. Shiloh Pepin is one only three people in the world surviving with sirenomelia.
Sirenomelia is when your lower body doesn’t develop correctly as a fetus resulting in the two limbs attached. Most fail to survive hours after birth. But Shiloh is doing great, after a kidney transplant in 2007.
The syndrome is a congenital deformity where your legs grow together appearing like a tail of a mermaid. The condition only occurs in one of every 100,000 births, with persons passing within 48 hours of birth.
The TLC documentary entitled “Mermaid Girl” followed Shiloh in her home of Kennebunkport in 2007 but is retold tonight.
