Texas -Conjoined twins share a colon and bladders that will be reconstructed

Twin sisters from Texas who were conjoined below the waist have been released from a South Texas Hospital.It has been confirmed by the spokesman for Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi that Ximena (huh-MEE'-nuh) and Scarlett Hernandez-Torres were discharged on Wednesday.

The twins were taken to a Ronald McDonald House to continue their recovery with their mother and their triplet sister.

The twins are about 1 year old. They had been joined at the pelvis and shared a bladder and other organs.

They underwent an hourslong surgery last month to separate them.

Doctors have a positive outlook for the children's recovery and say the girls will require additional surgeries as they grow.

Their triplet sister, Catalina, was born without serious health issues.
