his little duo in California are living a new life after having undergone separation surgery in December 2016. Both were left with one leg each, but it was expected that they’d be able to stand and walk with a crutch in a year’s time.

Eva and Erika Sandoval, 2-year-old twins who were previously conjoined, are apparently now thriving, more than a year after their high-risk surgery on Dec. 6, 2016.

Speaking of how the twins are doing, their mother, Aida, said to the Sacramento Bee: “Having them separate, it’s like the day-to-day for anybody with twins. It’s a wonderful feeling, just to be able to make sure two more little babies get to adulthood.”
