Conjoined twins, Addy and Lily Altobelli, underwent a procedure at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to successfully separate them, the family says.
The twins' parents, Dom and Maggie Altobelli, expressed gratitude in a video released by the hospital, which is also known as"CHOP."
The twins' story starts in the womb. An ultrasound in August of 2020 showed them connected at the abdomen and chest. The Altobellis decided to move to Philadelphia, focusing entirely on the pregnancy and what was to follow."We got to move, we got to dedicate our lives to bringing these girls into the world and give them a good life and give them a good chance, and that's what CHOP did give us, this chance," Maggie recalled in the hospital's video.
"They were just so tiny and they were so beautiful and rosy. I just loved their little noises," their mother said. The Chicago couple saw Addy first, followed by Lily. The hospital's video shows the parents full of emotion, with tears welling in their eyes.
