• No longer conjoined, twins leave hospital

    From CNN Breaking News@VERT to no-reply@siteservices.cnn.com on Wed Dec 14 22:57:40 2016
    Two months after the surgery that separated them, twins Jadon and Anias McDonald left the hospital Wednesday for the next step in their recovery.

    "It's a pretty emotional day," said lead neurosurgeon Dr. James Goodrich. He and more than 30 doctors, nurses and staff at Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center lined the hallway to say goodbye to the boys.

    Their father, Christian McDonald, pulled a red wagon carrying the twins and their 3-year-old brother, Aza. Their mother, Nicole, walked with them. Both parents paused to hug almost everyone.

    The twins, born joined at the head, were moved to a nearby specialty facility for months of rehabilitation.

    "Am I happy to see them go? No," Goodrich said. "But it's time to move on. It's time for the next stage."
