Pap Pap Tom or Pap Pap Tim??

You know how they say everyone has a twin somewhere out there in the world? We've thought for a while that we've found my dad's (Ben's Pap Pap). Dr. Timothy Johnson provides on-air medical analysis for "World News Tonight," "Nightline" and "20/20." He has also provided commentary on medical problems and answers for viewers of ABC News' "Good Morning America". He has an uncanny resemblance to my dad and his mannerisms... so much that it is spooky seeing him on TV.

We went to my parent's house today and my mom thought it would be funny to print and laminate a card of Dr. Tim to see if Ben could tell the difference (remember, Ben LOVES my dad and spends most of his time either staring at him or a picture card of him, so he should know better than anyone else the real Pap Pap). Well, not only did Ben not notice the difference between the two, he developed a love for the new "impostor" Pap Pap card. Ben is now carrying around a card of Dr. Timothy Johnson everywhere. It is too funny!

You be the judge, are Tom (Pap Pap) and Tim (the Doctor) twins separated at birth?

About CHARGE Syndrome

CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.For more information, visit http://www.chargesyndrome.org/
