A message from the father of Ahmed and Mohamed Ibrahim:

My family and I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful e-mails, cards, letters and special prayers that have been sent to us on behalf of the twins.

Although we would love to respond to each and every good wish, it's an almost impossible task. The correspondence has been overwhelming to us, as well as the fact that our boys have touched the lives of so many people around the world.

My family believes wholeheartedly that it was God who saw our boys through this and guided the hands of the wonderful surgeons who performed this surgery, as well as the many nurses and operating room team members.

We know in our hearts that without your support and prayers, this would not have been possible. We are amazed at how everyone has opened their hearts to our family and you will never know how grateful we are. All of these special cards and notes are being saved in a special scrapbook for the boys to see when they are old enough to understand. We cannot wait to share this with them.

Our family would ask that you please continue to remember Ahmed and Mohamed in your daily prayers and thoughts and we will certainly do the same for you. God Bless you all.

Sincerely,

Ibrahim Gad
