Part of famous Siamese twins married: “Josh is a war veteran who now works as a nurse” | Bizarre

The ladies each have two lungs, a head and a heart, but do share the intestines and reproductive organs, for example. Abby controls the right side of the body, Brittany takes care of the left side. Thanks to fantastic coordination, they manage to play sports together, play the piano and even drive a car.

Their father Mike always had high hopes that they – each individually – would find the right one. “Why not? They look handsome and they have a sense of humor. They hold all the cards,” he declared in a 2001 interview with Time.

For Abby, that mission has already been accomplished. She tied the knot three years ago, according to images from her TikTok profile. The lucky one turns out to be Bowling, a war veteran who now earns his living as a nurse. The happy news only became known now because the Siamese twins have been out of the spotlight for a long time.

When Abby and Brittany were born on March 7, 1990, doctors warned that they might not survive the night. So that turned out a bit differently. It shows their perseverance, even then…

Separating the conjoined twins with surgery was never a serious option for their parents. The risk of a bad outcome was too great, Patty and Mike decided.

At an early age, a third arm, which hung incompletely and limply between their heads, had to be amputated. Later another operation followed to correct the curvature of the spine. The chest was also taken care of, otherwise they risked breathing problems later.

The sisters emphasize that they are two completely different people. Abby grew up as ‘the stubborn one’, who only wanted orange juice for breakfast. Prankster Brittany only touched milk. “We always strongly urged them to develop their own character,” Patty concludes.
