SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Three weeks after a marathon surgery to separate them, once-conjoined 4-year-old twins have been moved out a hospital intensive care unit — a sign that they are well on their way to healing, their father said Monday.
Kendra and Maliyah Herrin were born in February 2002 conjoined at the mid-torso, sharing multiple internal organs, including just one kidney and a pair of legs. Separation surgery for the girls was delayed until this year because the shared kidney presented numerous medical complications.
"They're spirits are very high, they're happy as can be," Jake Herrin, 26, of North Salt Lake said at a news conference Monday.
