Formerly Conjoined Twins Released From Texas Hospital

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 19 May, 2016 11:51 AM
    CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Twin girls who were formerly conjoined below the waist have been released from a South Texas hospital.
     
    A spokesman for Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi confirmed that Ximena (huh-MEE'-nuh) and Scarlett Hernandez-Torres were discharged Wednesday.
     
    The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports the twins moved to a Ronald McDonald House to continue their recovery with their mother and their triplet sister.
     
    The twins are about 1 year old. They underwent an hourslong surgery last month to separate them. They had been joined at the pelvis and shared a bladder and other organs.
     
    Doctors have a positive outlook for the children's recovery and say the girls will require additional surgeries as they grow.
     
    Their triplet sister, Catalina, was born without serious health issues.
