Photos/Video: Conjoined Nigerian twins successfully separated at U.S. hospital
Conjoined
twins from Nigeria have been successfully separated after a complex
operation at a Tennessee hospital days before their first birthday.
Miracle and Testimony Ayeni were separated during 18 hours of surgery that began on November 7 and ended on November 8th at Le
Bonheur Children’s Hospital,.
Memphis, spokeswoman Anne Glanker said.
"Miracle and Testimony Ayeni came to Le Bonheur six months ago seeking help. They were born conjoined at the lower half of their bodies, sharing multiple organs. Connected, these girls would never be able to walk or ride a bike or even grow up to have families of their own. But last week, our expert surgical team performed a complex 18-hour surgery, successfully separating the twins. Today, their parents are able to hold them separately," the hospital said.
The
twins were joined together at the pelvis, a condition that occurs in
one of about 5 million births, said Dr. Max Langham, who led the surgery
team.
"Without separation, their future wasn't very good," Langham said at a news conference on Tuesday. "They would grow up inconsistent, unable to walk, totally dependent for all of their care and unable to participate in the world fully."
On
Wednesday, November 16th, the family had another reason to celebrate as
it was the twins' first birthday. Check out all the videos on the
hospital Facebook page.

'Sperm smoothie' - UK based woman reveals her source of energy every morning
Also a personal trainer and nutritional adviser, Tracy adds it with with complementary ingredients such as bananas, seeds and almond milk, to make her smoothie. Sounds disgusting right?
However, Tracy states sperm contains lots of vitamins and minerals – including B12, which vegans like herself lack in their diets.
‘People are so weird about sperm when in actual fact a teaspoon is filled with amazing goodness,’ she says. Did her male friend and sperm supplier initially have reservations about being her personal sperm machine? Yes.
"When I first approached him, he was concerned I’d use it to impregnate myself,’ she admits. ‘But once I’d convinced him it was for my beauty regime he agreed – after all, he has a regular supply at hand! I know he’s healthy, doesn’t smoke, drink or do drugs and I made him have an STI check,’ she says.
On the taste of the donated sperm..
‘Every batch tastes different, depending on what he’s been eating,’ she reveals. ‘If he’s been drinking alcohol or eaten something particularly pungent like asparagus, I ask him to give me a heads up so I know not to drink it neat. Things like pineapple and peppermint make it taste better, but I’ll happily take it straight off a spoon usually.’
Tracy also credits sperm for improving her body complexion thorough her year long facial routines.
