<p class="mol-para-with-font">It was one of the riskiest separation surgeries ever performed. The conjoined Sandoval twins have separation surgery at Stanford.<br />
But now &#8211; three months after doctors untangled Eva and Erika Sandoval&#8217;s digestive system, a uterus, a liver, a bladder, a pelvis, and a third leg &#8211; the girls are leaving their Palo Alto hospital.<br />
On Friday, the hospital released photos of the two-year-old twins eating cakes at a celebration party as they prepared to move to a rehab facility at UC Davis in Sacramento, near their hometown of Antelope.</p>

<strong>Three months after their marathon surgery, time to celebrate for Eva and Erika Sandoval with a princess picnic in their ward on Monday.The twins are moving closer to home in a midway house.</strong></h6>
</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">They will stay there for a few weeks before finally being able to return home.<br />
&#8216;Erika and Eva look really great,&#8217; said pediatric surgeon Gary Hartman, MD, professor of surgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine who led the 50-person team that separated the twins in a 17-hour operation and has closely monitored their recovery.<br />
&#8216;The girls have just blossomed in terms of personality,&#8217; he said. &#8216;They&#8217;re very engaging and chatty.&#8217;<br />
At a March 6 hospital farewell party, parents Art and Aida Sandoval were excited.<br />
&#8216;I&#8217;m over the moon,&#8217; Aida said. &#8216;It&#8217;s still surreal seeing them separate, knowing that it&#8217;s still them as two individual bodies. Now we&#8217;re just waiting for their next chapter to begin, and the anticipation is indescribable.&#8217;<br />
Eva was discharged from Packard Children&#8217;s on Thursday, March 9 after a three-month healing period in which her doctors closely watched the condition of the wound at her separation site.</p>
<h6 class="mol-para-with-font"><img class="alignnone wp-image-152221" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/after-surgery-aida-arturo-and-two-of-their-three-adult-children-embrace-with-joy-after-the-operation1.png" alt="After surgery: Aida, Arturo, and two of their three adult children embrace with joy after the operation1.png" width="694" height="423" /><strong>After surgery: Aida, Arturo, and two of their three adult children embrace with joy after the operation</strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">For a while, the plastic surgery team thought she might need a skin graft, but Eva&#8217;s wound is now healing well, and a graft will not be necessary.<br />
Erika healed more quickly, allowing her to be discharged from Packard Children&#8217;s on February 13, when she left the hospital for the first time since the separation.<br />
However, Erika was readmitted on March 4 to monitor some vomiting that was persisting over several days.</p>
<h6 class="mol-para-with-font"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-152040" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/aida-and-arturo-sandoval-44-and-he-49-view-their-miracle-twins.jpg" alt="Aida and Arturo Sandoval 44 and he 49, view their miracle twins.jpg" width="634" height="423" /><br />
<strong>Aida and Arturo Sandoval lovingly gaze at their miracle twins.</strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Aside from that bump in the road, for the last few months, both girls have been receiving physical and occupational therapy at Packard Children&#8217;s to help them learn new movement patterns that are suited to their individual bodies.<br />
They have also participated in play therapy to help them adapt psychologically to the separation.<br />
&#8216;Neither girl seems to have trouble adjusting,&#8217; said Packard Children&#8217;s child psychiatrist Michelle Goldsmith, MD, who has worked with the sisters. &#8216;They&#8217;re both rolling with what&#8217;s going on very well.&#8217;<br />
The healing process has even had its share of light moments, Aida said.<br />
&#8216;The other day, Eva said &#8220;feet&#8221;, and I told her &#8220;foot&#8221;. I said, you have one foot and your sister has the other foot. And then I showed her that she has one leg, and that Erika has the other leg. And she pointed at Erika across the room and said &#8216;Erika took it! Erika took my leg!&#8217;<br />
Before separation, the twins&#8217; anatomy was like that of two people above the sternum, gradually merging almost to one below the diaphragm. They had a total of three legs, one of which was unlikely to ever be functional.<br />
Tissue from the third leg was used as part of Erika’s reconstructive surgery, meaning that each twin now has one leg.<br />
Both girls are now sitting on their own for short periods and will need to learn to use customized wheelchairs to move around.</p>
<h6 class="mol-para-with-font"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-152012" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/two-year-old-twins-erika-and-eva-sandoval-were-reunited-after-separation.jpg" alt="two-year-old twins Erika and Eva Sandoval were reunited after separation" width="634" height="423" /><br />
<strong>This is the moment twin sisters Erika and Eva Sandoval were reunited after an 18-hour long separation surgery</strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Because they each lack some pelvic bones on the side without a leg, it is unclear if they will be able to receive prosthetic legs in the future. But whether they use prosthetics or not, physical and occupational therapy will help them gain more independence.<br />
Erika and Eva will continue to receive regular checkups with Hartman and other caregivers at Packard Children’s after they go home to Antelope.<br />
&#8216;They&#8217;re doing really well and they&#8217;re ready to go,&#8217; Hartman said. &#8216;It&#8217;s a great thing for everyone on our team to see.&#8217;</p>

<div class="overlay-icon mobile-gallery">The girls, from Antelope, California, started on their path to surgery years ago, as they began to suffer countless infections, and Erika was becoming dangerously weak.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">On December 6, in one of the riskiest separation operations ever performed, the twin girls were successfully separated.<br />
Their parents Aida and Arturo made the harrowing decision to attempt separating them in 2016, as it became clear that with every month, more medical issues arose.<br />
They had been hospitalized with dozens of urinary tract infections and countless cases of dehydration.<br />
And it was getting worse with time. The good news is that the girls have suffered no complications since separation.</p>

<div>In a lengthy profile of the family, the <a class="" href="http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article116616403.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sacramento Bee</a> last month described how the cost and scale of the operation &#8211; and pre-surgery, has taken such a heavy toll on the family.</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Aida was urged to abort the little girls when she and Arturo surprisingly fell pregnant two years ago at the age of 44, Arturo was 49. Without hesitating, the religious couple, who already have three kids in their 20s, kept the pregnancy.<br />
But life was becoming increasingly difficult for the girls.</p>

<p class="imageCaption">Aida said last month that she was confident the surgery would be a success, and that it would allow Erika &#8211; the smaller and weaker of the two &#8211; to grow into her own person. While Arturo continued his construction work near their home in Antelope, California, Aida had been forced to move to Palo Alto to live close to the hospital with the girls.</p>

&#8216;They want life, and they&#8217;re going to fight for it.&#8217;<br />
She said she was confident that the surgery would be a success, and that it would allow Erika, the smaller and weaker twin, to grow into her own.<br />

<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"> Eva and Erika were attached from the sternum to the pelvis. They shared a digestive system, a uterus, a liver, a bladder, and a third leg with a seven-toed foot.

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Prior to the surgery, Dr Hartman said Eva would likely keep their bladder, while Erika would get a colostomy bag.<br />
Erika, the weaker twin, was expected to keep their third leg while Eva would get the other two.<br />
Both were expected to be missing vital body parts; and both needed significant reconstruction of their lower bodies.<br />
The surgeons estimated the operation carried a 30 percent risk that one or both of them would die &#8211; largely due to the fact that they shared a tangled skeletal system, with many shared and tangled blood vessels.<br />
&#8216;This is a worrisome number because in most cases doctors only perform with a tenth of a percent chance of fatality,&#8217; their parents Aida and Arturo wrote on their Facebook page before the surgery.</p>

<p class="imageCaption">Surgeons spent the last few months inserting tissue expanders, a common tactic in separation of conjoined twins.<br />
It was a way of stretching the skin gradually so that, when it came to the reconstruction surgery, they have more to move and manipulate.<br />
The team released photos from inside the operation, and pictures of the 3D-printed models of the girls&#8217; shared body parts, which they used to practice for months.<br />
&#8216;We&#8217;re so happy they did well during the actual separation procedure and it went smoothly,&#8217; Gail Boltz, clinical professor of anesthesiology, said.<br />
Matias Bruzoni, Dr Hartman&#8217;s co-surgeon who made the final cut of the skin in the separation, explained how the team working &#8216;little by little&#8217; from the upper chest down to the shared leg.<br />
