Conjoined Twins Were Given Just a 5–25% Chance of Survival—Their Story Is Incredible

Abby and Erin Delaney were born in 2016 joined at the head. Doctors gave the tiny twins only a 5–25% chance of survival.

Born weighing just 2 pounds, the sisters spent their first 485 days at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia preparing for a life-changing separation.

In June 2017, a team of 30 medical professionals performed an incredibly complex surgery that lasted more than 11 hours. Against the odds, the operation was successful.

The girls later needed additional surgeries as they grew, but their recovery has been remarkable. Their journey has included difficult moments, setbacks, and countless hospital visits—but also incredible progress.

Today, Abby and Erin are growing up as two strong, beautiful sisters, surrounded by parents who have supported them every step of the way. ❤️

Their story is a powerful reminder of just how far love, courage, and medical science can go.
