Surviving Siamese twin enjoying a normal life

IT'S been almost two years since Siamese twins Jodie and Mary Attard were born in August 2000.

Mary died just months later as doctors separated the girls. Jodie survived and now lives a normal happy life with her parents in the tiny Maltese village of Gozo.

Despite the heartbreak, the twins’ parents are said to be delighted with the progress of Jodie. Local parish priest Father Julian Refalo Rapa said yesterday the family was happy and had settled down following their ordeal.
