Some good news: Separated Twins doing well
Something to take down the stress a bit today and calm things down here.
We can all feel good about this.

Aug. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Two 4-year-old twin girls who shared a kidney are recuperating today after successful surgery to separate and reconstruct their organs at a Salt Lake City hospital.

Doctors at Primary Children's Medical Center performed reconstructive surgery this morning on Kendra and Maliyah Herrin after the girls were separated in a daylong operation yesterday, the Herrin family said on its Web site. The hospital said the operation is believed to be the first of its kind involving conjoined twins who shared a kidney.

The girls are in critical condition and will probably remain unconscious for a few days, hospital spokesman Jason Mathis said today in a telephone interview.

1. That is good news, indeed!
I will keep the children, their parents and the hard working medical team in my thoughts.
