Conjoined twins separated sucessfully



We reported earlier that the twins were undergoing surgery to be separated and it seems the doctors have succeeded.


Jadon and Anias McDonald, 13-month-old twins, had begun their surgery Thursday. The separation procedure lasted more than 16 hours and was followed by several hours more of surgery to reconstruct their skulls and make them whole.

Jadon was the first of the boys to be finished. He was wheeled out of the operating room around 7:40 a.m. on a stretcher, his perfectly shaped head wrapped in white gauze. He was taken on an elevator to the pediatric intensive care unit on the 10th floor, where he was reunited with his parents, Nicole and Christian McDonald.


As of 8 a.m., Anias was still undergoing surgery.

The parents' worries extend beyond the surgery; they wonder what happens in recovery.
