“They said as soon as their little hearts stopped beating, they would turn off the gadgets and I would be able to bury my wife.”
But the twins’ hearts continued to beat inside their mother’s womb.
That’s when doctors made the ground-breaking decision to try and save the nine-week-old embryos.
Head of the Neurological ICU at Nosso Senhora do Rocio hospital in Campo Largo, South Brazil, Dr. Dalton Rivabem, explained:
“Frankielen’s organs were all intact and working as if she was still with us. We took the decision to keep her alive to save her unborn children. And every day we watched them grow normally.”
In February of this year, after doctors managed to successfully keep Frankielen on life support for 123 days, her twins were delivered by c-section at seven months.

Muriel and his family welcomed his daughter, 3-pound Ana Vitoria, and her twin brother, 2.8 pound Asaph.
The twins spent three months in the neonatal intensive care unit after making their miraculous grand entrance into the world.
Following the twins’ birth, Frankielen’s mother had nothing but praise for her late daughter:
“I’m so proud of my daughter. It’s been hard losing her but she was a warrior right until the end, protecting her beautiful children and giving them life until the day she finally died.”
The twins were able to join their father and big sister, 2-year-old Isa Beatriz, at home after making history inside of their mama’s womb.
What an incredible miracle these babies are. Praise God for the peace he’s brought to the family through the arrival of Ana Vitoria and Asaph.
