Once conjoined twins, these resilient teens are now thriving and enjoying a normal life, a decade after their life-altering surgery!
Mackenzie and Macey Garrison’s lives began with extraordinary challenges. Born as conjoined twins connected at the pelvis, they faced a daunting journey from the start. At just 10 months old, they underwent a complex 24-hour separation surgery led by Dr. James Stein, showcasing their resilience early on. Their lives took another dramatic turn when physical therapist Darla Keller adopted them and their triplet sister Madeline, welcoming them into her Iowa home alongside her three biological children.
As they grew, Mackenzie and Macey balanced the complexities of their unique mobility—both relying on prosthetics and crutches—with typical teenage activities like driving with friends and part-time jobs. Despite their physical challenges, they remain active, even riding horses. The sisters continue to nurture their close bond while embracing their individuality and focusing on their strengths rather than their limitations.
