Addy and Lily Altobelli, born connected at the chest, are back home with their family after CHOP doctors successfully separated them late last year.Addison and Lilianna Altobelli are finally home and resting in Chicago after surgeons at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia successfully separated the conjoined twins late last year.
Addy and Lily spent nearly a year in intensive care at CHOP after they were born connected at the abdomen and chest – a condition known as thoraco-omphalopagus. Addy and Lily were diagnosed prenatally, when parents Maggie and Dom went for their 20-week ultrasound appointment. At that time, Maggie and Dom assumed they were having one baby – until the ultrasound images showed two fetuses attached at the abdomen.
They couple was referred to CHOP for further evaluation. There, after further testing, doctors determined that, once born, the girls would be excellent candidates for separation due to the size of their shared liver and them each having their own healthy hearts.
