It took an incredible 23 operations leading up to the momentous 11-hour separation surgery for these twin girls, born conjoined at the head. They then spent five more months recovering in the hospital, and now these feisty twins are learning to take their first steps.

Conjoined at the skull, Abby and Erin Delaney were born with a rare condition that affects one out of around 70,000 in the United States. They were successfully separated on June 6, 2017, at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
