DENVER (AP) — Doctors say the prognosis for normal lives is good for conjoined 7-month-old twin girls who were separated in a 15-hour procedure.
Alexandra and Sydney Stark were in good condition after the Tuesday surgery at Children's Hospital, doctors said.
"The girls tolerated the procedure well. They're stable, and finally for the first time in their life, they're sleeping in separate beds," said Dr. Joseph Janik, the lead surgeon. Five doctors took part in the operation.

The girls were born March 9 attached at the lower back and pelvis. Doctors said each has her own heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and intestines.
