Conjoined Twins With Maggie Altobelli

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) launched a dollar-for-dollar matching gift campaign called the “Addy and Lily Fund for Transformational Surgical Care” through February 14, 2022. Donate here.

Maggie Altobelli and her husband Dom are raising twin girls (Addy and Lilly) who were born connected at the abdomen and chest, a condition known as thoraco-omphalopagus twins. Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) took care of the girls from birth and eventually separated the twins with surgery. 

Maggie shares her incredible story, which includes:

• Pregnancy after miscarriage
• High-risk twin pregnancy
• The unique challenges conjoined twins face
• NICU and PICU care
• Family life after the separation surgery
