First successful craniopagus separation on Primetime

Just watched Primetime, and the medical story was on the first successful craniopagus separation; it was done on Lithuanian twins who were joined at the head. (their brains were intertwined two inches deep.. not merely touching each other, as the doctors had first thought) Quite the risky delicate operation to get them separated.. amazingly, they suffered no brain damage.. though their skulls had to be reconstructed in Dallas after their bodies rejected the artificial skulls done for them in Moscow. They're happy and healthy at sixteen now, which is great! These stories are pretty darned good.. and no, definitely NOT because they're about twins. :P

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESTER! It's been good getting to know you on the UB.. we've only talked once on AIM, but I hope we can talk more! Have a good one! :)
