Two twins born connected at the lower back due to conjoined spinal cords were released from a Wisconsin hospital today after being successfully seperated. Both have spina bifida, which leaves the spine incompletely closed, and it is too soon to tell whether they will be able to walk normally as they age. While the parents' health insurance has maxed out due to the many surgeries their children have undergone they are grateful for the success. They were quoted as they left the hospital, "To be able to bring these guys home I think is the greatest Christmas gift you could ask for."
