Formerly conjoined twins leave hospital
MELBOURNE, Australia — Formerly conjoined twins from Bhutan were released from an Australian hospital on Monday more than two weeks after they were separated in a delicate surgery.
The 15-month-old girls Nima and Dawa were joined from the lower chest to just above the pelvis and shared a liver. They were separated during an operation at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital on Nov. 9 that lasted almost six hours.
“Thank you, everyone,” their grateful mother, Bhumchu Zangmo, said as she wheeled her daughters from the hospital.
