AN aid worker who helped bring conjoined Bangladeshi twins to Australia where doctors managed to separate them spoke of her relief yesterday over their successful surgery, as the girls remained in serious but stable condition.
Danielle Noble, who first met Trishna and Krishna in an orphanage in Bangladesh in 2007 when they were only a month old, said she cried on Tuesday after learning from a televised news report that surgeons had successfully separated the girls, who were born joined at their heads.
"I watched as the doctor came out and said they had been separated -- it was quite surreal, unbelievable," she said. "I shed a few tears; it's been really emotional. I feel connected to the girls."
Trishna and Krishna, who turn three next month, shared a section of skull, blood vessels and brain tissue. They were separated on Tuesday after 25 hours of delicate surgery.
Noble, 27, now works for the United Nations in Bangkok but is vacationing in Australia and hopes to visit the twins this weekend. "I might be idealistic, but I had this feeling that this was going to work, that this would be a positive outcome," she said.
