Local media outlets report that about 25 relatives and friends greeted parents Shellie and Greg Tucker when they returned home Thursday evening with their daughters, 10-month-old Amelia and Allison Tucker, who were born March 1 at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Fire trucks escorted the family to a welcome home gathering at a school in the Jefferson County village of Belleville.
On Nov. 7, the hospital's surgical team worked for seven hours to separate the girls, who shared a chest wall, diaphragm and liver. The surgeon who led the operation said the girls are expected to have full, independent lives.
