Once Conjoined, Now Thriving: The Altobelli Twins Three Years Later

[@TeanmaResanaria-ls9eu]

It was just yesterday that I googled the Altobelli girls and didn't find any update on them. Today KZbin presents this video. I've watched their separation video and were so glad they both survived, but worried if they were ever able to live without a ventilator, let alone the trache. I'm very happy to now see them thriving and running around, no wires, tubes or trache. They seem so happy and lively despite everything they went through. The parents did a great job and so did the CHOP. All the best for the future of the twins and the whole family, including the cute new little baby sister Mila. ❤

An amazing example of wonderful, caring parents!

Truly a miracle, these little girls are beautiful. So happy for this family! My first sonogram with my 3rd pregnancy revealed twins, at that time they were positioned head to head. It took another sonogram to confirm they weren't conjoined, (thank God!). I still worried though if I could carry twins, I'd had two pregnancies before and no problems with either. The twins were born 4wks early at 4 & 5 lbs. But they were healthy and got to go home with me after 1 week.

Congratulations on your healthy babies, so glad it all worked out! ❤

[@penelopepitstop762]

My son was born with a heart defect and his first few years were really tough. I also had a really rough delivery. I’m pretty sure if it was the old days, we both wouldn’t have survived. Today he is a healthy 28 year old man! I also have another son and his birth was so easy even though I was extremely afraid at first due to my first. Having a child with issues really does change your perspective on things. Nothing matters if you don’t have your health.

[@reginaferrin]

All babies are a miracle. But the girls being ok is a double miracle 🙏❤️

[@this_is_my_stop]

These 2 are doing so great!!! I've been an infant/ early childhood developmental therapist (OT) for 10 years, and I think they've made wonderful, well-rounded progress!

[@stephanieann622]

I watched the video of the girls separation. I can’t imagine how stressful that had to have been for these loving parents. They are doing an amazing job, you can tell because of how happy and well adjusted the girls are!💖💖

[@carolwaugh5466]

Makes my problems pale in significance. The strength of these wonderful parents is truly magnificent.

[@haleyphipps0417]

Congratulations on the success of the twins! It was a long journey for the parents with having to spend the first year in the hospital,separation surgery,going home with trach's and NG fedding tubes and slowly going off assistance to breathe and eat to now breathing and eating normally for 4 year old toddlers and now becoming big sister's to a little baby sister.

Your girls are beautiful! And reading about how much money you have raised to help others is simply incredible. I love your story, your girls, and your love which is for others, too, with special needs. I will look forward to following your lovely girls as they grow and change. What a wonderful story! Best wishes to all of you.

How did our parents do it? It’s called the outdoors. It’s called discipline. It’s called go play with your toys, like Lincoln logs, Sorry, puzzles and books. Try it.

SEE WHY it is imperative to have conjoined twins separated in infancy, come what may. Even if they were in wheelchairs, human beings deserve autonomy.

Tablets and phones are bad for kids, making them harder to parent in the long run.

[@gailcreighton5484]

Shame on you, what a terrible, insensitive, thoughtless thing to say to these parents. You were probably blessed with healthy children and never had to face daunting challenges like these parents have. They have two little ones with major medical conditions that restrict what they can physically do and it was imperative that they found ways to engage their developing minds.

[@Happyladybug143]

100% Agree❤

This is not that venue. Check your judgement at the door.

[@Jdjustsaying]

@@gailcreighton5484 it’s that she said that she wondered how her parents brought up children without devices. My comment was in response to that comment. I’m not judging her parenting and special needs kids do need special parenting. My comment was intended to be a general comment on children doing better without devices and the current evidence supports that.
