A set of identical, conjoined twins will celebrate their first birthday as separate individuals after 21-hour surgery performed last week by doctors in New York. Ballenie and Bellanie Camacho are recovering well from the surgery, which was performed by a team of 50 pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists and surgical nursing specialists at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York.
Twin girls Ballenie and Bellanie Camacho are "in stable condition" and "doing very well" after more than 50 doctors, nurses and other medical staff of Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in Valhalla, New York, worked on separating the pair in a rare and complex procedure. "At this point, the girls are doing very well," Dr. Samir Pandya, who was part of the surgical team, said in a press conference broadcast on Facebook Live .
The new Eagle Scouts are: Gregory Alfieri of Hawthorne, Joseph Andrews of Thornwood, Gregory May of Pleasantville and Alexander Warne of Valhalla. His project took place at Rosary Hill Home in Hawthorne, a nursing facility operated by the Dominican Sisters.
