Jadon and Anias McDonald

Jadon and Anias McDonald are a pair of formerly conjoined craniopagus twins. They were separated in a nearly 30 hour surgery on October 14, 2016[1] at Children's Hospital at Montefiore when they were thirteen months old.[2][3]

Less than a year after they were separated, they returned home to their house in New York's Orange County to live with parents, Nicole and Chrisitian, and older brother, Aza.[4] Before they were separated, the boys and family lived in the Bronx but they purchased the home in foreclosure while the boys were in rehab at Blythedale Children's Hospital.[5] At home, they will have 20 hours a week of in-home therapy.[6]
