After more than a year at hospital, a Florida family will take home one of their conjoined child. Born conjoined in December of 2014, one of two twin brothers, named Conner has been released from a Jacksonville hospital on Wednesday. The family expressed happiness over the better health of both kids. Carter, the other twin is also doing well, but for now Carter will stay in the hospital.

The twin brothers were born conjoined at the abdomen with sharing tiny intestine and also had fused livers.

Conner's father, Bryan Mirabal, said during a news conference on Wednesday that he was eager to finally get to spend time with his son away from the hospital. Until Wednesday, Conner had spent his entire life at the hospital and at least 200 health care professionals have worked with Conner and Carter -- from surgeons to pediatric nurses, according to the Wolfson Children’s Hospital.

Case of conjoined births is seen in one out of between 100,000 and 200,000 births. Post delivery, the twins were sent to the Wolfson’s Neonatal Intensive Unit. Their birth was the first conjoined birth witnessed by UF Health Jacksonville and the first ever to be treated in Wolfson’s 60 year history.

Dr. Daniel Robie,a surgeon with Nemours Children’s Specialty Care and pediatric surgeon at Wolfson Children’s Hospital, said he and his staff were going to miss Conner after getting to see him every day for over a year.

The doctors could have waited for some more time. The twins were in a 12-hour surgery in the beginning of May 2015. The doctors decided to separate the brothers when the younger of the two, Carter, seemed losing out in the fight for nutritional resources.

Connor weighed 22 pounds at the time of getting discharged from the hospital, and his brother Carter, who will stay in the hospital, weighs 16 pounds.

Daniel Robie, one of the pediatric surgeons who headed the team that conduced number of operations on the twin brothers, said that the younger one is actually thriving, and is left with just a slight more to go through. Every member of the team, consisting more than 200 doctors and health care workers, will miss Conner.

Robie said, “It’s going to be difficult for us to give him up but he’s going to where he needs to be with his mother and father”.

The mother of the twins Michelle Brantley said that her sons are doing fine, and have strongly made it through everything.
