'I see the girls living full happy lives as individuals.'

The pair made a full recovery from the 14-hour treatment and doctors said there should be no need for future intervention or long-term medication.The girls were born on October 10, 2012, through a planned cesarean section to Nachell Jones and Carlos Lawrence, of Franklin, Virginia.
