Conjoined at the chest and stomach, Anna and Hope Richards struggled to sit, turn, or lie comfortably 😢 Born sharing a diaphragm, liver, and even a major blood vessel between their hearts, separation seemed risky.
At just over one year old, 75 doctors spent months planning an intricate seven-hour surgery, carefully separating their organs and reconstructing their bodies. The operation succeeded — Anna and Hope were finally two separate girls 😱
Today, they play, laugh, and grow like normal children. Their mother calls every day a miracle that began when the doctors first separated their tiny hands.
