DALLAS, TX, April 22, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) — Conjoined twins who were nearly aborted one year ago are now on the next step to coming home.

A year ago, Jenni and Dave Ezell decided to abort their conjoined twins because the Ezells “didn't think they had a chance” of living. At the abortion clinic, a doctor advised them to get a consultation about how scar tissue from past C-Sections might harm Jenni if she was to get an abortion.

It was the second doctor who told them that the boys might live. And now, nine months after birth and eight months after surgery to separate the twins, Owen and Emmett are headed to an inpatient rehabilitation center.

Since the surgery, the boys have lived in a neonatal intensive care unit, and undergone numerous surgeries. Their father, Dave Ezell, said that despite it all, “when this is over, we're going to have 4 boys, we're going to be a family.” The Ezells' older children are eight years old and two years old.

Jenni and Dave were unable to bring Owen and Emmett home until they could eat and breathe on their own, and recover from all of their surgeries. The boys are currently breathing on their own, albeit through trachea breathing tubes, and are being fed through abdomen-placed tubes.

Dave and Jenni will be taught how “to manage those tubes until the boys can eat on their own,” according to NBC Los Angeles. 

The Ezells, who consistently give credit to God for the lives of their twins, have kept a blog since the separation surgery, and are selling T-shirts whose sales will help fund care for the boys, as well as a trust fund. The shirts read, “The Works of God Displayed in Them, John 9:1-3.”
