Twins are incredibly unique due to their mental and physical connection. “Identical twins have 99.9% of the same DNA” and sometimes experience the same thoughts or emotions simultaneously. Rarely, twins can be born on different days, with one case showing an 84-day gap.
Some twins are conjoined, a rare condition occurring once in 60,000 births. These twins share organs, which can put their lives at risk. Bella and Abby were born joined at the chest and abdomen, making their situation critical.
Surgeons faced a tough decision but proceeded with separation surgery after their parents consented. The operation took place on May 12, 2006, lasting twelve hours and involving seventeen doctors.
“The parents worried and prayed nonstop for their two young angels.” Fortunately, the procedure was a success, and the family returned home within a month.
Although Bella and Abby don’t remember being conjoined, their bond remains strong, showing the unique connection twins share.
