Twins Reunited On Video Call After Operation

A baby couldn’t stop kissing her twin sister through a video call after coming around from an operation that saw the pair fully separated for the first time ever. In the amazing footage, 11-month-old Jo can be seen immediately recognizing her twin sister, Nona, on the screen, heading in for a closer look before planting kiss after kiss on the screen. Parents Audra and Michael, from Twin Falls, Idaho, said Jo and Nona love to kiss and tickle each other, so as well as planting smooches on screen Jo even tried tickling the phone and playing virtual Patty Cake with her sister. During the first 11 months of their life, Jo and Nona had been inseparable, only spending a couple of hours apart at most. But a kidney ailment meant Jo would always need to undergo an operation, the family said. They waited six months for Jo to be strong enough to handle surgical repair and almost six more months for a bed to become available to fix the hydronephrosis, a kidney malformation present before birth. The four-hour operation took place at St Luke’s Children’s Hospital in Boise, Idaho, on January 26, and grandma Nina later shared footage of the twins' wholesome video reunion.
