“Like any surgical pathway, there have been a few bumps in the road and there are a few bumps we’re still smoothing out...[but] we’re making good progress at the current time,” the national broadcaster ABC reported him saying. Nurse Kellie Smith, who is caring for the twins post operation, said the girls were constantly trying to be physically close to each other and didn’t like being put in separate beds. “We try and have them a little bit apart but they manage to sort of bum shuffle back together and have their legs intertwined always,” Smith said.
The girls are always looking for their mother Bhumchu Zangmo who has been by their side since they were flown to Australia from Bhutan last month for the complex operation. The twins were joined facing each other from the lower chest to just above the pelvis and shared a liver, which was divided during the operation.
