That doctor and family was bold. God gives knowledge for people to perform such amazing things.
God bless the doctor(s) who made this happen. It’s amazing what doctors are capable of. May the twins have a long, blessed life!
The interaction of the parents and the surgical team made the magic...Trust.
Happy to hear that everything went well.
AMAZING XX GOD BLESS THAT WHOLE TEAM!! AMENN XX WHAT A BEAUTIFUL START OF THE NEW YEAR XX
“Procedure” suggests a minimally invasive thing. Like a day surgery like a colonoscopy. This was a major surgery
Saw this on Facebook news I’m glad it was a success
Congratulations to Maggie and Dom. Twins are beautiful now.💐🥂🍾🎆🎇😃
They are beautiful whether they were together or not
Aww such a beautiful story
Congratulations on the separation.
Such a wonderful parents, all love and respect.
@4:14 When one of the show hosts said to Maggie, "You're part of a special sisterhood my friend. I also have twins, I have three." Did she mean she has 3 sets of twins or that they're 3yrs old because it sounded like she has 3 sets of twins? 👶🏻👶🏻🍼 👶🏻👶🏻🍼 👶🏻👶🏻🍼 🧸🧸 💝💝
I think she meant she has 3 kids, one set of twins and then another kid.
Why are they still on machines?
The separation is extremely traumatic physically, it will take time to fully heal, and will need help for a while.
Heck, they would probably of not survived a few decades ago….or stay joined till death.
Heck, probably would of killed the Mom.
❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏
that bill is gonna be torrential
This is amazing. I didn't know this station still did news. I thought it was a channel full of nonsense.
The first doctor to do it is Ben Carson, so this isn’t a big deal because it’s been done before, when Ben did it it was a huge deal becoming the first ever doctor to do it
The first successful separation did not happen in the United States. It happened in 1971 in Myanmar.
Its always a big deal when a surgery like this is successful cause ANYTHING can go wrong.
Ben Carson did not do the first separation surgery. He did one of the first to separate at the head. He's a neurosurgeon not a general surgeon.
"This isn't a big deal" ? ? ? ? If they were YOUR twins I'm sure it would the biggest deal in your life. How rude!
@@louiseparisotto3630 you didn’t understand what I was saying, The procedure isn’t a big deal because it was already done before they was making it seem like this is the first ever separation which it wasn’t that’s what I was talking about
@@beachbayareajr455 where in the video did they say or even imply this was the first ever separation of conjoined twins? Seems like you just really wanted to give a shout out to Ben Carson for whatever reason…
Free atlast.
Jesus where are you Jesus?
