Two formerly conjoined twins in North Texas are recovering after an 11-hour procedure to separate them.
Four-month-old sisters JamieLynn and AmieLynn underwent surgery on Monday at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, becoming the first conjoined twins to be separated at the hospital.
“She said that’s the baby’s head,” Finley said. “I was like, ‘What is that?’ and she said, ‘That’s the other baby’s head.’ And I was like, ‘What?’” The hospital stated that they are truly special — conjoined twins occur in only about 1-in-200,000 live births. Despite their concerns, Arciniega had an uncomplicated pregnancy but gave birth early when their doctor noticed they had a slow growth rate.They were born by C-section on Oct. 3 at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth. They both weighed 4 pounds, 7.8 ounces.After a month at Texas Health Fort Worth, they were transferred to the NICU at Cook Children’s, where they have remained since November.
