Formerly Conjoined Twins Leave Hospital
From Times Wire Reports
Thirteen days after they were separated, the formerly conjoined twins Erin and Jade Buckles were released from the hospital several weeks earlier than expected.
The 4-month-old girls headed home to Woodbridge, Va., from Children’s National Medical Center, where they were separated June 19.
The identical twins had been joined from their chests to their abdomens. They shared a liver, and one baby’s heart rested horizontally, protruding into the other girl’s chest cavity.
