see video in link too. just remarkable!!!!!!!!!!!

Sisters Aimelynn and Jaimelynn are now one step closer to heading home.

Aimelynn and Jamielynn are omphalopagus twins, meaning they are joined at the abdomen and share a liver.

Before the babies were born, the family started working closely with a team of specialists at Cook Children's Medical Center to plan for their safe delivery and eventual separation.

"Every conjoined has a unique anatomy. They're all different," said Dr. Jose Iglesias, the medical director of pediatric surgery at Cook Children's Hospital. "They're gonna give you some surprises here and there. And their personalities, one's a little feisty one and another one's much more reserved."

More than 50 doctors, nurses and anesthesiologists came together to help safely separate the babies.

Graet that they can now live a seperate life.

2. Yes. In their case, 2 heads not better than 1.

3. It seems like they each have two arms and two legs (?)

Being conjoined is surely tough, but this particular case seems better than a lot of other scenarios, like when the twins are joined at the skull or don't have a full set of limbs for each.

4. Yes, this scenario seems easier to deal with than many of the cases of conjoined twins. Apparently,

the doctors were able to separate the liver so both girls got part of it. That's good news.
