Conjoined twins from Bismarck to be separated at Mayo tomorrow

ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) Conjoined twins Abygail and Madysen Fitterer of Bismarck will undergo separation surgery at the Mayo Clinic tomorrow.

The girls were born August Eighth in Minneapolis, joined at the chest. They're the daughters of Stacy and Suzy Fitterer.

They'll be the second set of conjoined twins from North Dakota to undergo separation surgery at Mayo's Eugenio Litta Children's Hospital in recent months.

Abbigail and Isabelle Carlsen of Fargo have been doing well since they were separated last May.
