Rosie and Ruby Formosa, from Bexleyheath in Kent, were born joined at the abdomen and shared an intestine. This meant that in order to survive, they needed to undergo an emergency surgery. Separating them seemed like an impossible mission, and their parents were told that the chances of the girls\u2019 survival were extremely slim.<\/p>\n

The family prayed for a miracle and hoped for the best outcome possible besides the facts that the odds were against them. Luckily, following an extremely complex surgery which was done at London\u2019s Great Ormond Street Hospital (Gosh), the sisters were successfully separated.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the time they learned the babies she carried were conjoined, the girls\u2019 mother, Angela, said, \u201cAt 16 weeks they sent me to King\u2019s College Hospital and it was there that they discovered the connection between the girls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

\u201cIt was heartbreaking, really \u2013 I was already worried that they were monoamniotic (where twins share an amniotic sac), and\u00a0conjoined<\/a>\u00a0was the worst-case scenario.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really, really, really scared and really upset because at that point I was told that there was a high possibility that the girls wouldn\u2019t survive the pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAnd if they did survive the pregnancy they might not survive the birth, then they might not survive surgery. They couldn\u2019t tell what was connecting them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t prepare to bring them home. It wasn\u2019t until they were in hospital and they\u2019d had their operation that my husband started painting the bedroom and getting everything ready for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Four years following the successful surgery, Rosie and Ruby started school. The proud mother said the girls had now met their teacher and were \u201cvery excited\u201d to be attending school just like their older sister Lilly.<\/p>\n

Despite the parents being overjoyed that their girls started school, they admit the house would be empty without them while they are away.<\/p>\n

We are so glad things turned out for the best for these beautiful girls. We wish then only the best life brings.<\/p>\n
