Doctors have begun the process of skin stretching that will prepare 2 year old conjoined twins Yurelia and Fiorella Rocha-Arias for their upcoming separation surgery. The girls, connected primarily at the chest, are joined at the right atria of their hearts and share a single liver. Because of their face to face orientation, they are unable to walk and their backs are beginning to curve. The complex surgery, which is scheduled for late November, has only a 50% survival rate, but doctors are optimistic about the girls' prognoses.
