Conjoined twins closer to separation


Conjoined twins Hope and Faith Mata <span class=meta>Allen Kramer for Texas Children's Hospital</span>

Two twins Knatlye Hope and Adeline Faith were born connected by their chest  by their abdomen and their pelvis. The girls are joined at the heart and share a liver and other organs. Their weight at birth was estimated at 3 pounds, 7 ounces each. They will soon be in surgery ready to be separated physically. Doctors added tissue in order to proceed with surgery and have success in trying to separate these two twins.
