Miracle and Testimony Ayeni were conjoined at the pelvis. The girls underwent an 18-hour operation at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, on November 7 and 8 |
They arrived in the US on June 28 with their parents Samuel Olusegun Ayeni and Mary Abiodun Ayeni, their older sister, and their pastor after being offered free flights from a Nigerian airline Arik Air.
It was their only hope at separating the girls, after trying and failing to find a hospital nearby that could carry out the operation.
Finally, after months of research, they were referred to Le Bonheur, whose surgeons offered to do the life-saving operation free of charge.
The hospital announced the landmark procedure on Wednesday morning, with more information to follow.
