we had a set of conjoined twins here in the denver area.
they were separated and have done very well with lots of PT.

i believe that if after careful evaluation and testing it's possible to separate them that it should be done.

it was not possible in the case of the hensel's. they've learned to adjust and are happy to accept that in their lives.

may i say that's it's also the parents and family that play a huge role in getting their children thru something like this whether they're separated or not.

if it were my kids i would do it.
