Separated Twins Again Breathing on Their Own
From Times Wire Reports
The 2-year-old twins from Egypt who were surgically separated this month were breathing on their own again.
Ahmed and Mohamed Ibrahim, who were born joined at the tops of their heads, were separated in a marathon operation in Dallas that ended Oct. 12.
Doctors removed Ahmed’s breathing tube for the second time. They had removed the tube Wednesday but replaced it later that day after his throat swelled.
Mohamed was put on antibiotics for a fever, but doctors said he was in stable condition.
