Hi,
Our names are Abbigail Lynn Carlsen, and Isabelle Anne Carlsen we were born November 29th at 10:50am to the proud parents of Jesse Carlsen and Amy Carlsen at Abbott Hospital in Minneapolis. We were 37 weeks old when we were born. We arrived kicking & screaming and weighed 5 pounds 2 ounces each and 17 3/4 inches long. We are identical twin sisters who are conjoined at the lower chest and upper abdomin, which is also called omphalapagus. After more scans and tests than some people have in a lifetime the doctors said our livers are connected, which mom and dad already knew, but we also shared part of the small intestine which is called the duodenum. We are now going to the Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN.
______________________________________________
I hope that everything goes well for this family and the team of surgeons. I'll be keeping them in my thoughts and prayers.
